Newschool Skiing

“Newschool” skiing originated in the late 1990s when freestyle skiers, discouraged by constrictive laws placed on the sport by the International Ski Federation (competitive skiing’s governing body, known by the acronym “FIS”), began trying their tricks in what were at the time snowboard-only terrain parks. Early newschool skiers were very aware of the developing style and attitude of snowboarding, and adopted these for their own sport. The Newschool Skier is related more to the snowboarder in his/her style than to the traditional skier’s style.
