That vanguard of XTREME!!! sports, The New York Times, is first to report the addition of slopestyle events for the 2014 Winter Olympics. What is slopestyle, says you? Why, it's when you stick shit that isn't normally on a mountain (rails, for example) and combine that with bumps and jumps. All these things are known collectively as 'features.' Slopestyle will be a part of both snowboarding and freestyle skiing, though the really important part is that the only snowboarder anyone has ever heard of, Target's Shaun White, says he'd like to compete.
