Big air is a high-injury-risk sports discipline where the competitor rides a vehicle,such as a motocross motorcycle,a skateboard,a snowboard,or a pair of skis,down a hill or ramp and performs aerial tricks after launching off very large jumps. In most versions,there is one large jump and therefore only one opportunity to perform a trick. It is an extreme version of slopestyle. Competitors perform complex tricks in the air,aiming to attain sizable height and distance as well,all while making every effort to secure a clean landing. Many competitions also require the rider to do a specific trick to win the major prize. The term was coined by French-Canadians because of their love for the extreme nature of the event.

The men's slopestyle competition in snowboarding at the 2022 Winter Olympics was held on 6 February (qualification) and 7 February (final),at the Genting Snow Park in Zhangjiakou. Max Parrot of Canada became the Olympic champion. Su Yiming of China won the silver medal,whereas Mark McMorris of Canada replicated his success at the 2014 and 2018 Olympics by winning the bronze. For Parrot this is the first Olympic gold,and for Su the first Olympic medal. 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 had 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.
