In Snowboard Cross, boards are directional for high-speed stability with typical lengths of 157-165 cm.

Halfpipe / Slopestyle / Big Air: No minimum board length. Athletes choose boards suited to their height, weight, and riding style. Typical lengths range from 148–162 cm. Boards are twin-tipped (symmetrical nose and tail) for switch riding.; Snowboard Cross: No minimum length. Boards are direction...

Freestyle events (Halfpipe, Slopestyle, Big Air): Soft-boot highback bindings with strap-in or rear-entry systems. The binding must securely retain the boot and allow quick release in emergencies.; SBX: Soft-boot bindings similar to freestyle but often with stiffer highbacks for responsiveness.; ...

Helmet: FIS-approved helmet mandatory in all disciplines. Must conform to EN 1077 or equivalent. Full-face helmets permitted in SBX and PGS.; Back / impact protector: Mandatory for Halfpipe and Slopestyle at World Cup level. Strongly recommended for all other disciplines. Must meet EN 1621-2 stan...

Length: Minimum 150 m (492 ft) of rideable transition.; Width: 19–22 m (62–72 ft) from lip to lip.; Wall height: 6.0–7.0 m (19.7–23.0 ft). The standard "22-foot superpipe" refers to the vertical height of the transition wall.

Venues are purpose-built or adapted for each discipline.

Length: Minimum 400 m (1,312 ft).; Width: Minimum 30 m (98 ft).; Features: 6–9 features arranged in sections. The jib section includes rails (flat, kinked, rainbow), boxes (flat, down, gap), and wall rides. The jump section includes 2–3 progressively larger jumps with gap distances of 10–25 m (33...

Kicker: A single massive jump feature with a takeoff height of 3–5 m (10–16 ft) and gap distances of 25–30 m (82–98 ft) to the landing sweet spot.; Landing slope: Gradient 33–38 degrees. Snow depth minimum 1.5 m (5 ft) in the landing zone.; In-run: Speed-controlled in-run track, often with a star...

Length: 1,000–1,500 m (3,281–4,921 ft).; Vertical drop: 150–250 m (492–820 ft).; Average gradient: 12–22 degrees.

Vertical drop: 120–200 m (394–656 ft).; Gates: 20–30 gates per course, offset 10–15 m (33–49 ft) apart. Red and blue courses are set parallel to each other, separated by approximately 20–25 m.; Snow surface: Hard-packed, injected, and salted for consistency. The course must be equally prepared on...
