Replying to I need Your Help Newschoolers

For my school newspaper I am writing an article about how free-skiing has changed skiing as a sport and I need sources from out of state.
Can you please answer these question.
How has skiing as a sport been changed by the creation of free-skiing?
Has this change been positive or Negative?
What direction do you think the sport as a whole or free-skiing is going in?
Please include your full name, age and state you from
