	Super Giant Slalom skiing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Super G incorporates aspects of both Downhill and Giant Slalom racing.
		As in Giant Slalom and Slalom, they are allowed only a one hour visual inspection of the course on the morning of the race.

	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.
		Giant Slalom skis are longer and stiffer than Slalom skis, but not as long as Super-G and Downhill skis.

		Ski routes are referred to as 'runs,' 'trails,' or 'slopes.' Off-piste riding, also known as "back-country skiing", includes unmarked areas within the ski resort's boundaries, frequently amongst trees ("glade skiing"), or usually in pursuit of fresh fallen snow, known as powder.
		Skiing or snowboarding beyond the ski resort's boundaries is illegal in most countries, due to the danger of avalanches on the un-patrolled areas; or the cost of search-and-rescue for lost or overdue skiers.
		Ski troops played a key role in retaining Finnish independence from Russia during the Winter War, and from Germany during the Lapland War, although the use of ski troops was recorded by the Danish historian Saxo Grammaticus in the 13th century.

		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.
		The 2003-2004 season saw the FIS increase the minimum length of Slalom skis in an attempt to increase safety; for men from 155cm to 165cm, and for women from 150cm to 155cm.

		These acres are near the base of his Snowbasin ski area, and the company wanted the land to develop into a four-season resort, with new condos, a golf course, and other upscale development.
		However, when official off-roader organizations are lining up with the timber, mining, grazing, and other industries to oppose any restriction on their access to public lands, they effectively become as "bad" as those other exploitative industries of old.
