Freestyle skiing focuses on performing tricks, jumps and technical manoeuvres on snow. It can include terrain park features such as rails, boxes and kickers, as well as mogul runs and aerial-style jumps. Unlike traditional alpine skiing, which centres on controlled descents down prepared pistes, freestyle skiing is built around creativity, balance and precision while airborne or on variable terrain. The use of purpose-built snow parks introduces structured features that are not found on standard runs.
ActivitySure can cover freestyle skiing when you are taking part on an amateur, non-professional basis during your trip abroad. This applies to recreational use of terrain parks and designated freestyle areas within recognised ski resorts. It does not extend to professional competition or extreme stunt performance. While freestyle skiing takes place within managed resort environments, the inclusion of jumps and features increases the likelihood of falls and impact injuries compared to standard piste skiing.

Destination Insight
Where do people go for freestyle skiing?
Ski randonee is popular in alpine regions such as France, Switzerland, Italy and Austria, where extensive mountain terrain supports ski touring routes. Many skiers choose randonee as a quieter alternative to lift-served skiing, exploring designated touring paths or guided backcountry routes. It is also practised in parts of Scandinavia and North America where open mountain landscapes are accessible.
Here's why freestyle skiing travel insurance matters:
Ski randonee combines physical exertion with mountain travel in unmanaged areas. Ascents can be demanding, increasing fatigue, while descents may involve ungroomed snow and natural obstacles. Weather conditions can change quickly at higher altitudes, and assistance may not be immediately available. If you are injured while ski touring abroad, you may require mountain rescue, medical treatment or repatriation to the UK.
Helpful travel tips
- Follow all instructions and safety guidance given by guides or local authorities
- Wear appropriate safety equipment, including a helmet and avalanche safety gear where required.
- Check weather and avalanche forecasts before setting out
- Plan routes carefully and allow for safe turnaround times
- Ski within your ability level and avoid isolated areas without proper preparation
