World Cup discipline

This event is kind of the NASCAR of the ski world. In this event athletes ski down the equivalent of a mini downhill course with a variety of "elements" (jumps, turns, hits, rollers) in groups of four. The object of the exercise is to make it down the course the fastest but also in one piece. The course is very tight so there are plenty of opportunities for mishaps, which make these races very exciting to watch (and participate in - if you dare!).

Judging

No judging - this is a speed event.

Competition Format
