FIS Freestyle Skiing experts are currently in PyeongChang (KOR) to make their fourth inspection for the Olympic Winter Games in 2018.

The officials are meeting with the sports managers for each discipline, resort staff, KECC Engineering and mountain resort planners, Ecosign for an on-site inspection of the future venues. Just like in Sochi, which were hugely successful for Freestyle Skiing and Snowboard, both disciplines will share the same venues in 2018. During the inspections, the requirements for the disciplines are being defined and elaborated in follow-up meetings.

The venues are scheduled to host official FIS World Cup events that will serve as test events in the 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 seasons.

FIS Freestyle Skiing Coordinator Joseph Fitzgerald commented: “This design challenge is the opposite to Sochi. Now we have a fully functioning ski area, whereas everything was designed at a brand new ski area in Russia. We now need to fit everything into fully operating ski runs and ensure it all fits together and functions. I am confident that in PyeongChang 2018 we will be able to produce another rock 'n roll show, like we did in Sochi and in Vancouver.“
