The Rise, Air, & Fall of Halfpipes
Once the crown jewel of freestyle skiing and snowboarding, the halfpipe has nearly vanished — with fewer than 6% of U.S. ski areas still cutting one. So… what happened? 🤔 In this video, we dig into the rise, peak, and rapid decline of the halfpipe — from surf-inspired snow ditches and the first man-made pipes, to Olympic superstardom and why most resorts quietly moved on. We also examine whether smaller, more approachable pipes could be the key to reviving pipe riding — especially in the Midwest. 00:00 Intro 00:30 The History of the Halfpipe 04:25 The Rise & Popularity of Pipes 06:06 The Decline of Pipes 06:40 Why the Decline? 08:30 Could they make a Comeback?! 10:40 Wrap Up & Final Thoughts
