Super Giant Slalom skiing: Meaning (information, definition, explanation, facts)

The Super Giant Slalom is an alpine skiing discipline. It involves skiing between gates as in the slalom, and Giant Slalom, but is skied over a much longer course with, consequently, longer times between gates.

In an attempt to increase safety, the 2003-2004 season saw the FIS impose minimum ski lengths for the Super Giant Slalom for the first time; to 205cm for men, 200cm for women. A minimum turning radius of 33m continues to apply.
