Race Descriptions
Downhill
The downhill features the longest course and the highest speeds with challenging turns, jumps, and gliding
phases. Skiers make a single run.
The fastest time determines the winner.
Super-G
Super-G stands for super giant slalom, an event that combines the speed downhill with the more precise turns of giant slalom. The course is shorter than downhill but longer than a giant slalom course, and also includes high-speed turns, jumps and gliding phases. Each skier makes one run down a single course and the fastest time determines the winner
Slalom
The slalom features the shortest course and the quickest turns. Each skier makes two runs down two different courses on the same slope. Both runs take place on the same day. The times are added and the fastest total time determines the winner.
Giant Slalom
Also known as the GS. It is a similar version to the slalom, with fewer turns and wider, smoother turns. Each skier makes two runs down two different courses on the same slope. Both runs take place on the same day, usually with the first run held in the morning and the second run in the afternoon. The times are added, and the fastest total time determines the winner.
