A whole new world is opening up for freeskiers and snowboarders as their disciplines gear up to premiere at the 2014 Winter Olympic
Games in Sochi, the city on the coast of the Black Sea.
However, these unflappable athletes don't skip a beat; they're ahead of their time. This year's slopestyle experts in the freeskiing and snowboarding disciplines will certainly have their eyes on the Olympic Games in Sochi (Swiss included among the best), but before heading to the "Russian Riviera", they'll have a couple of more chances to test their virtuosity among themselves at the "Swiss Riviera" at lake of Zurich.
