After the Freestyle and Snowboard test events in February 2013 and several inspections in the following months to optimise courses and working processes, all venues are now measured to meet international sports standards with only a few adjustments remaining.

FIS Freestyle Skiing Coordinator Joe Fitzgerald, who has participated as an Organiser or Official in every Winter Olympics since 1988 stated: "We have been able to watch and participate in a fantastic process over the past six years. I recall walking through the forest looking for finish areas and the competition slopes. I have been able to witness the transformation of the ski area and the local town into a world class ski resort and Olympic competition venue. These slopes are probably the best-ever competition venue and setting for our 10 Freestyle Skiing and 10 Snowboard competitions. Now the final overlay begins with spectator stands, mixed zones and a myriad of other tools and equipment needed to prepare these world class stadiums.”
