- 场地说明：坡式障碍技巧赛，空中技巧赛以及U型池
2012年2月，国际单板滑雪界齐聚挪威首都奥斯陆，共同见证世界单板滑雪锦标赛 (WCS) 的开幕，比赛由世界单板职业滑手联盟（TTR Pro Snowboarding ）和世界单板滑雪联合会（WSF）主办。而在这个冬天，2016年3月9日至16号，单板滑雪界将向东前往位于中国东北的亚布力，去见证世界自由式单板滑雪赛事中，坡式障碍技巧赛，U型池和空中技巧赛中最佳选手的产生。单板滑雪的大牌选手们也将正面交锋，在中国前所未有的世界级赛场上角逐六位数大奖--50万美元的奖金，以及六个备受推崇的世界冠军头衔。
Reto Lamm, President of TTR Pro Snowboarding states: “WCS in China is a challenge on many fronts. While kickstarting the most promising winter sports market of the future, we’re implementing progression on all levels. Our teams have been working since Oslo 2012 on the concept and execution of this historic event.”
世界单板职业滑手联盟主席Reto Lamm说道：“在中国举办单板滑雪世锦赛在很多方面都面临挑战。但是揭开未来最有发展前景的冬季运动市场帷幕的同时，我们在所有层面上都有所进步。我们的团队从2012年奥斯陆起，就一直致力于推动这项历史性的赛事。”
Changing it Up: Jumps First, Rails Last
WCS 2016 changes it up from the typical course build, kicking off the 700m long Slopestyle run with 3 kickers of 19m, 22m and 25m in size, leading into a creative feature loaded jib section consisting of 2 rail islands and a huge L-shaped playground featuring a wall-ride and a number of rails and ledges.
The Slopestyle course takes full advantage of the Yabuli terrain, allowing the riders to unleash their creative potential. Head shaper Ryan Neptune brings a team of 9 shapers with him that will work alongside the Chinese specialists and Yabuli Ski Resort.
改变：跳台区前置，栏杆区后置
2016年的世界单板滑雪锦标赛在以往典型的赛道设置的基础上做出了改变，在长达700米的坡式障碍技巧赛赛道的开始阶段设置了三个分别为19米，22米和25米大小的跳台，接下来是布满创新障碍的街道障碍区，包括2个栏杆小岛和一个巨大的L形平台，上面设有墙面以及几条栏杆和臂架。
该坡式障碍技巧赛场地充分利用了亚布力的地形优势，使滑手可以充分发挥他们的创造性。首席场地建造师 Ryan Neptune带来了他的9人团队，将和中国专家们以及亚布力滑雪场的工作人员一起合作建设场地。

“For the World Champs our idea was to form an international team of shaping experts. We have specialists on board from the US, Canada, NZ, Australia, and together we have come up with a innovative course design for the slopestyle that we are stoked to reveal today”, says head shaper Ryan Neptune (USA).
首席场地建造师 Ryan Neptune说：“对于世界锦标赛，我们的想法是建立一个由专家组成的场地建设国际团队。我们的专家来自于美国，加拿大，新西兰，澳大利亚，经过协商合作，我们为坡式障碍技巧赛提出了一个创新性的场地设计方案，今天也将很激动地发布此方案。 ”
"The Slopestyle course at the Yabuli World Snowboard Championships is going showcase one of the most creative venues for world class riders to date. Mixing up the the traditional jumps which increase in scale as the first features on the course and ending in three rail islands with the last feature a multiple rail section that the riders will need to settle after they land their jumps will add a high level of expectation for the best riders, says competition director Lee Gregory Johnson.
Built atop a venue previously used for aerials, the WCS 2016 Big Air arena will give spectators a spectacular view of the action. The 27m Jump will set the stage that will showcase the riders’ progressive flair and technical skill.
The 22ft or 7m high Superpipe“ measures 185m in length. It is state-of-the-art and will be the biggest Halfpipe seen in China to date. Situated adjacent to the Big Air venue and the main event area, spectators will have easy access to watch their heroes flying through the pipe.
亚布力坡式障碍技巧赛赛道将为世界级的选手呈现迄今位置最有创意的场地之一。竞赛主管Lee Gregory Johnson说，赛道上的第一种设置是规模更大的传统跳台，在结尾阶段混合设置了三个栏杆小岛，最后的设置是多栏杆区，滑手们需要在跳台跳跃着陆后决定怎样通过，这增加了我们对最优秀滑手的较高期待。
场地设置在高处用于空翻，2016世界单板滑雪世锦赛空中技巧的场地将给观众带来一个观看滑手动作的绝佳视角。27米的跳台将会为滑手展示渐进的本领和技巧做好准备。
22英尺或7米高的“超级管”长达185米。它的先进性和规模都是中国迄今为止首屈一指的。紧邻空中技巧赛的赛场和主赛场，观众能够很清晰得看到他们的英雄在池内翻飞。
