Mixed team aerials format blends speed, jump and judged tricks Each team fields three athletes, requiring at least one male and one female competitor, who ski down a ramp, launch off a large jump, and execute a trick evaluated on air, form and landing per International Ski Federation (FIS) rules [1][2]. Judges assign scores for each component, which are summed for the team total. The event’s structure emphasizes both individual skill and coordinated team performance.
