Downhill, Giant Slalom, and Super-G Courses:

In a manner that is the same as for slalom, it is possible to set gates vertically and horizontally for Downhill, Giant Slalom, or Super-G. However, no vertical combinations are provided for, in the rules, for Downhill, Giant Slalom, or Super-G. The potential speeds are too great to make such combinations viable. It is possible, under the rules, to set one vertical after another when they are separated by the ordinary distances the separate the other gates, but it is hard to imagine a reason to do so. It is discouraged as poor course setting practice. back 1 page or Page 1
