The slopestyle competitions at the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics marked a defining moment in modern freestyle snowboarding. Held at the spectacular Livigno Snow Park, both the men’s and women’s finals showcased the sport’s evolution — where creativity, amplitude, technical rail mastery, and clean execution outweigh raw spin count alone.

Athletes had three runs in the final, with the best single score (0–100 scale) determining the medals.
