	Slalom skiing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For slalom the vertical offset between gates is around 9m and the horizontal offset around 2m, although these figures have changed in recent times because of significant technical developments in ski equipment 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 skis at a length of 203-207 centimeters in the 1980's and 1990's but by the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, the majority of competitors were using skis measuring 160 centimeters or shorter.

	Giant Slalom skiing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		GS gates themselves also differ from Slalom gates; in the Giant Slalom, gates are spaced in pairs with each pair consisting of two poles connected by a single fabric panel, whereas in the Slalom gates are single poles without panels.
		As a result, a Slalom racer is likely to use a cross-blocking method to push gates out of the way in order to keep his center of gravity closer to the fall line during his run.
		In an attempt to increase safety, the 2003-2004 season saw the FIS increase the minimum turning radius for Giant Slalom skis to 21m, and impose minimum ski lengths for the first time; 185cm for men, 180cm for women.

	Aquaskier - Articles - Portable Slalom Course Use 101
		Unfortunately, for many of us a readily available public slalom course that can be accessed whenever you want to go skiing just does not exist, and if it does happen to exist it may not be readily available for any number of reasons (weather damage, missing buoys, wind, traffic etc).
		I'm certain that most readers will already be familiar with how a slalom course is laid out but to be certain that all points are covered we'll assume that not everyone is. There are also a couple of features that are unique to the portable version of a slalom course that should be pointed out.
		Every portable slalom course (and also many permanent courses for that matter) consists of a mainline which positions and separates the buoy arms (or booms) from which the buoys are suspended and positioned (see the diagram above).

	Marcus Brown -- Professional Waterskier
		In the past, slalom skiing and coaching has entailed telling someone to "get their hips up and shoulders back" because Lucky Lowe is world champion and it works for him so it must be the right way.
		The new wave of slalom, emerging about 5-6 years ago, is a result of slalom based on physical principles.....the same principles that govern how we move during any other activity: walking, runnning, riding a bike, skateboarding, roller blading, and especially snow skiing.
		Free skiing is a great tool for learning, as the skier can forget about the buoy "telling" them when to turn and instead "feel" what is actually happening and where their body is in relation to the ski.

		In slalom, the skier navigates a zig-zag course of six bouys, where the boat speed is increased by two miles per hour until a maximum speed for that division of competition is reached (36 mph for Open Men).
		Trick skiing is often described as “gymnastics on water” with flips, spins, ‘toe turns’ (tricks performed with the rope harness on the skiers foot), and ‘step overs’ and 'body overs' (where the skier jumps over the rope with the ski and their entire body).
