The women's big air competition in snowboarding at the 2022 Winter Olympics was held on 14 February (qualification) and 15 February (final), at the Big Air Shougang in Beijing. [1] Anna Gasser of Austria won the event, successfully defending her 2018 title. Zoi Sadowski-Synnott of New Zealand won the silver medal, and Kokomo Murase of Japan bronze, her first Olympic medal.

The 2018 silver medalist, Jamie Anderson, twice Olympic champion in slopestyle, and the bronze medalist, Sadowski-Synnott, qualified as well. Andreson did not qualify for the finals.

Laurie Blouin was the 2021 world champion, with Sadowski-Synnott and Miyabi Onitsuka being the silver and bronze medalists, respectively. Sadowski-Synnott was the 2021 X-Games winner, ahead of Anderson and Onitsuka.

The scoring in the finals was mired in controversy after the judges admitted to missing a "glaring error" by Parrot that some speculate would have given Su Yiming the gold medal. The head snowboarding judge, Iztok Sumatic, later stated in an interview that the final scores was wrong due to the judging error, and that Su should have won the gold instead. However, because neither McMorris nor Su filed an official appeal, it had meant that the flawed results will not be changed.
