Slopestyle is a form of freestyle snowboarding and skiing competition. Slopestyle is also emerging as a niche in the world of mountainbiking with new competitions emerging that seek ways to judge the new breed of freeriders. In slopestyle, the rider or skier is free to choose his or her own route through a course consisting of various terrain features, such as bumps, rails, and jumps. Judges determine the winner based on the degree of difficulty and execution of each trick.

It originated as a snowboarding competition format, but there are now many sports that are considered to have this style of competition, of which skiing and snowboarding are two of the most common.

Judges determine the winner based on the degree of difficulty and execution of each trick. While slopestyle is one of the most popular events at the Winter X Games, it has never been in the Winter Olympics. A few notable slopestyle athletes are Shaun White, Janna Meyen, Tara Dakides, Danny Kass, Simon Dumont, Tanner Hall, Andreas Wiig. Unlike the Superpipe event, slopestyle is more weather dependent. In the 2006 Winter X Games, the men's ski slopestyle event was changed into a Big Air event due to poor conditions.
