Bella Bacon

Bella Bacon is an American freestyle skier whose progress in slopestyle and big air reflects the evolving standards of modern park skiing. She represents a new wave of riders who blend reliable contest execution with a strong understanding of media and training culture. Her reputation has grown through a steady climb from grassroots competitions to higher level starts, marked by clean rail work, decisive takeoffs, and rotation shapes that read clearly from any angle. Rather than relying solely on difficulty, she has emphasized repeatable runs that travel well from venue to venue, a trait that matters when weather, snow texture, and course geometry change rapidly across a season. Her development path follows a familiar but demanding trajectory. Early years focused on fundamentals such as balance, edge control, and body alignment on small to medium features, followed by incremental increases in jump size and rail complexity. Trampoline and air-awareness sessions have been central, allowing complex tricks to be broken into components before full attempts on snow. This approach builds confidence in approach speed, pop timing, axis management, and landing absorption, and it reduces unnecessary impact during learning phases. In competition blocks, she is known for arriving with a clearly structured plan that includes warm-up routines, weather notes, and contingency options for gusty wind or flat light, ensuring that a target score is always within reach even when the heaviest run must be saved for the best window. On course, Bella’s skiing is characterized by a calm upper body through impact, held grabs that frame the rotation, and rail lines that prioritize precision over volume. She uses switch approaches, surface swaps, and pretzel exits to demonstrate true edge fluency without creating chaos, and she sequences features so that speed and rhythm remain consistent from first hit to last landing. When the schedule requires back-to-back events, her equipment literacy becomes a competitive asset. She pays attention to ski mount points that balance swing weight with landing stability, edge tune that keeps rails viable on cold mornings, and boot setup that preserves predictable pop as salt cycles change the surface feel over the day. Media presence is increasingly important in action sports, and Bella understands how to share progression without compromising safety. Training edits and behind-the-scenes clips show how a session is paced from fundamentals to heavier attempts, offering fans and younger skiers an honest window into risk management. She communicates clearly about visualization, rest, and load management, reminding audiences that longevity is a skill. This transparency also benefits partners who rely on athletes to articulate product feedback. Her notes on flex profiles, torsional support, base speed, and binding ramp angle help align gear with the realities of modern slopestyle courses and rail sections that demand both precision and forgiveness. As with any athlete working in high-consequence environments, setbacks can occur. Bella’s approach to recovery emphasizes mobility, single-leg strength, trunk stability, and a gradual return to full-speed impact, paired with technical drills that re-establish timing and spotting before complexity increases. The goal is not just to return to form but to return with better habits, tighter preparation, and a renewed capacity to adapt under pressure. Coaches value athletes who treat these phases as opportunities to refine mechanics rather than merely reclaim old benchmarks, and that mindset has become part of her identity. Looking forward, Bella Bacon’s ceiling is defined by her ability to add difficulty without sacrificing clarity. The World Cup ecosystem rewards athletes who can qualify consistently and then escalate risk in finals when conditions allow. Her toolbox—measured trick selection, disciplined rail technique, professional equipment management, and a strong media voice—positions her to thrive in that context. For fans, she represents the balance modern slopestyle demands: athletic power matched to clean technique, creativity framed by structure, and ambition guided by deliberate practice. If she continues to advance at her current pace, she will remain a relevant presence in final rounds, a reliable contributor to team results, and a compelling figure in the broader conversation about where women’s park skiing is headed.

Eirik Moberg

Eirik Moberg, known in the skiing world as “Kryptoskier,” is a Norwegian freeski artist revered for his street-style creativity, smooth execution, and atmospheric video edit presence. His nickname reflects the enigmatic yet captivating persona he brings to ski films. Moberg has featured in multiple influential edits and films, collaborating with ON3P in projects like ON3P 6 and ON3P 7, and in visually compelling shorts such as Kryptonius in Inn$brooklyn. His smooth, choreographed skiing style continues to resonate as a modern embodiment of ski artistry. In 2025, he teamed up with Mats Bjørndal as Team Norway to win the Scandinavian Team Battle, showcasing his freestyle skill in a high-energy dryslope competition and further enhancing his reputation in the ski scene.

Henrik Harlaut

Henrik Harlaut, born on August 14, 1991 in Stockholm and raised in Åre, Sweden, is widely celebrated as one of the greatest freestyle skiers of all time. Known by nicknames like “E-dollo” and “Bloody Dollaz,” he brings unmatched creativity, flair, and jaw-dropping technical innovation to the slopes. Henrik’s signature moment came in Aspen at Winter X Games XVII, where he landed the first-ever nose-butter triple-cork 1620 in Big Air, scoring a perfect 50 and securing the gold, along with silver in slopestyle. With a record 13 total X Games medals — 8 gold and 5 silver — he holds the most podiums in skiing history. He has represented Sweden at multiple Winter Olympics, finishing sixth in slopestyle in Sochi 2014 (famously performing with his pants around his knees and a “Wu-Tang is for the children” salute) and earning bronze in Big Air at Beijing 2022. Beyond the Olympics, he claimed silver at the 2019 World Championships (Big Air) and dominated the World Cup circuit, winning the Big Air crystal globe in 2017 with multiple event victories. More than a competitor, Henrik stands out as a cultural icon. His style — from dreadlocks and baggy clothes to fearless trick execution — challenges norms while embodying pure joy and expression. He balances competition, filmmaking (notably in “The Regiment”), and community involvement, remaining a powerful influence shaping freestyle skiing’s evolution.
