Mountain (classic + downhill + Jumps----- all in a run of a Off-piste skiing using the wild or precreated wild terrain) 5.4 back-country skiing --- skiing in remote areas not within ski area boundaries 5.5 side-country skiing---- terrain outside marked ski area boundaries yet accessible via ski lift. Typically sidecountry requires the skier to hike, skin, or climb within ski area boundaries to reach or return from the sidecountry area, or both. 5.6 slack-country skiing --- terrain outside of the ski area boundary that is accessed from a lift without having to use skins or bootpack. Usually this also includes area with access back to the lift as well. For purists, this could also include where people use a car as a shuttle. 5.7 front-country skiing ---off-trail within ski area boundaries where ski lifts and emergency services are close at hand you can find them on this 5.8 Free touring (I say this is a FREERIDE in skiing--- freeride word comes from Cicling in mountain tarrain adopted by snowboarders and then by newschoolers who are refering to this as a the frontcountry skiing, slackcountry skiing, sidecountry skiing but not the Backcountry skiing because the binding that is in backcountry is freeheel compatibility and the Park and pipe skis that you can use in both places by tipe ex: volkl wall, ledge , step , alley , wall mogul that are made in procentage of where you can use them (ledge beginner park and pipe but also usefull in sidecountry, slackcountry or frontcountry)) is the powder skiing with and on or in avalanches and crevases, wide skis- twintip or regular, rocker... but difers on the style and mannor of aproaching the mountain ride. 5.9 ski touring that is all offpiste terraint where there is no climbing involved(mostly in Transilvania we reffer to it as skiing in a freeride zone, offpiste, with cliffs and subalpine zone) 5.10 ski mountaineering is the alpine wilderness with climbing at extreme but only small amount of period withouth the skis on(this is how we reffer to it in Transilvania-- not ski extreme where you rappel or climb to ski , where because of the climbing area you don

343:. The term "freeskiing" is now used exclusivley by the FIS to describe its aerials, moguls, and offpiste skiing. The main difference is the rules. The FIS has a governing body which limits the number of spins and flips in aerials and mogul comps, while new school has no governing body or rules regarding what tricks can/cannot be attempted.

MAJOR rewrite. I admit I have been rather heavy-handed in my editing, however I feel it is better to have a short, incomplete article than 2 pages of testosterone-charged, sensationalist, USA-centred, PoV fluff. If there are any specialists out there, the original version is in the history: Feel free

While it is agreed that much of the article that existed during March – July was heavily skewed toward the USA, that is not to say it should have remained that way. The article, as all wikipedia posts are, was a work in progress. Of course all other authors were encouraged to add additional FACTS,
368:
This entire article is unbelievably pretentious. You'd think these guys had actually invented something rather than just applying better equipment to do what people have been doing, in the same terrain, for centuries. While the general facts seem sound, I don't even know where to start with toning

but to erase the entire article in favor of having some poser, who knows next to nothing about the history of the sport, erase it and start over again is beyond reproach. Those of you who contributed to the demise of a well designed and articulate overview of this dynamic sport should be ashamed.

I think that this section first of all isn't written well, is unnecessary and doesn't seem to fit
Knowledge's notability standards. As well, the terms listed only encompass a few of the total. Not to mention, the rest of the article was full of vandalism.
375:
It is rather difficult to identify many inventions that are more than an application of new technology to an existing problem. the point with freeskiing is that the desire of athletes to redefine boundaries pushed the development of better ski technology.
361:). Freeskiing is still very much a term used (albeit loosely) to describe this particular type of skiing that you see in films such as Teddy Bear Crisis and on the X-Games. Perhaps a better term would be "progressive skiing."
