Why do #BigAir athletes wear “baggy” jackets and salopettes, but #SlopeStyle wear more streamlined clothing? And some have long, flowing hair/ponytails - surely this reduces aerodynamics? (Not a sports watcher, so pardon the innocence of the question.. but this is the #WinterOlympics)

@M0CUV there's a big cross over between sport and fashion. So it's mostly about look. Slopestyle is more affected by wind so you can see some with taped up trousers.

@M0CUV From what I gather (and this is only what I've picked up from the commentators), Big Air is less about aerodynamics and more about flexibility and being comfortable.
