Courses

Every course

Twelve courses, a green, blue and black in each of the four events, and 7 drills for practising one technique at a time. Each has Bronze, Silver and Gold medals, a Course Setter time and a world record to take.

New to ski racing? See how slalom, giant slalom, super-G and downhill differ.

Slalom

Slalom is the tightest, quickest event: short turns round poles set close together. Your speed comes from the spring of a clean edge change, not from tucking, so a tuck between turns only throws it away. Where gates stack straight down the hill (a hairpin or a flush), it’s one quick turn per pole.

Giant Slalom

Giant slalom has rounder, longer turns through two-pole gates with panels. The fast line is round and early: finish each turn above the gate, change edges just after it, and the skis kick you into the next one.

Super-G

Super-G is fast and sweeping, with big gaps between gates. Take a high line into the delayed gates so you’re not braking at the pole, then tuck through the glides.

Downhill

Downhill is the fastest event: long tucks, wide sweepers and jumps. Before a jump, let go of the tuck and tuck again just before the lip to stay low and land sooner.

Drills

Drills (Shorts, in the game) are 10–15 second courses built around one technique: quick to retry until it clicks.
