The men's slopestyle final has been moved from Wednesday to Thursday.

In addition, the women's and men's aerials have been canceled. The women's aerials will instead take place on Wednesday, with qualifying at 10:00 a.m. and the final three hours later. The men's qualifying and final have been moved to Thursday, 11:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.

On Tuesday morning, more than 10 centimeters of snow fell, but the weather forecast is more favorable for the men's big air final with Sweden's Martin Nordqvist. The final starts at 7:30 p.m.
