	Slalom skiing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For slalom the vertical offset between gates is around 9 meters (30 feet) and the horizontal offset around 2 meters (6.5 feet), although these figures have changed in recent times because of significant technical developments in ski equipment (namely, increased sidecut) which have revolutionized the sport.
		The rules for the modern slalom were developed by Sir Arnold Lunn in 1922 for the British National Ski Championships, tried by the FIS in 1928, and adopted for the 1936 Winter Olympics.
		World Cup skiers commonly skied on slalom skis at a length of 203-207 centimeters in the 1980s and 1990s but by the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, the majority of competitors were using skis measuring 160 cm or less.

		The slalom course lies in the recreational lane of the Central Park loop, between Tavern on the Green and the Sheep Meadow.

		Morricone's soundtrack to the 1965 film Slalom is one of his more innocuous efforts, but still a good blend of frivolous fun and ominous thriller overtones.
		The most memorable excerpt is the theme "Slalom" itself, with its sinister progression played partially on bells while rather chilling female and male voices alternate sing-chirping the word "slalom!" You know it's Morricone because there's plenty of whimsical whistling thrown in as well.
		The 2000 CD on Dagored is padded out a little with the original single edit of "Slalom" and a couple of alternative versions of the end title piece.
