After first featuring as a demonstration sport at the 1988 Calgary Games, freestyle skiing was introduced to the Winter Olympic programme in 1992, with new events - including ski cross, halfpipe, and slope-style - added to the competition format over the years.

There are 13 events in freestyle skiing at Beijing 2022, including two new events: men’s and women’s freestyle skiing Big Air and mixed team freestyle skiing aerials.

Freestyle skiing events will take place at two venues at Beijing 2022. The Genting Snow Park, located in the east of Chongli County of Zhangjiakou, will host most of the events, while Shougang Park will host the big air and aerials competitions.
