This article was in the New York Times today.

One of the excerpts from the article said:

“The chances are extremely high for ski slopestyle, ski halfpipe and snowboard slopestyle to be part of the Olympic program in 2014,” Christophe Dubi, the I.O.C. sports director, said in an e-mail.

There has been a lot of talk of this for and against. For those who don't trust that the problems discussed could be worked out, there will always be other comps like x-games and dew tour. I would rather watch freeskiers in the Olympics than snowboarders anyday.

Can't wait for people to whine about the judging, just look at the jolly dew tour slope threads.

i just dont see how your gona be able to judge this. the event would bein 3 years. thats 3 years of progression, probably getting crazier and crazier every year with the olympics gettin closer. with the rate kids are learning new tricks your gona need 3 100 foot jumps in a row and have both-way tripples by 2014
