there are a couple of reasons skiing halfpipe has not become an olympic sport. one reason is, to be qualified for the olympics, there needs to be a certain amount of countries competing. there arent enough countrys with profesional pipe skiers yet. another reason is the olympics comittee sees skiing as racing. they see snowboarding as a newschooler sport. soon, they willl come around to seeing skiing liike that too and skiing will become a part of olympics.
