Although the history of freestyle skiing is longer than that of snowboarding, the development of snowboarding big jump is much earlier than that of freestyle ski big jump.
The men's snowboard Big jump appeared at the World Championships in 2003, but the men's freestyle ski Big jump did not enter the World Championships until 2019, and the snowboard big jump entered the Winter Olympics earlier than the freestyle ski Big Jump.
The snowboard Big jump made its debut at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, and the freestyle ski big jump will make its debut at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. Since the big jump is almost a "larger version" of the slopestyle event in the platform area, most athletes will practice both events, and all athletes in the big jump event will participate in the slopestyle event at the same time when qualifying for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
