DISCIPLINES
SKI CROSS
Ski cross is a type of skiing competition where skiers race head to head down a course of gates with jumps, banked corners and three dimensional features. What sets ski cross apart from other alpine skiing disciplines is that there’s more than one skier racing down the course. Any intentional contact with other competitors leads to disqualification.
SNOWBOARD CROSS
Snowboard cross, also known as boardercross, is a snowboard competition in which four to six competitors race down a course. Snowboard cross courses are typically quite narrow and include cambered turns, various types of jumps, berms, rollers, drops, steep and flat sections designed to challenge the riders' ability to stay in control while maintaining maximum speed.
BANKED SLALOM
Banked slalom is a discipline of snowboarding and para-snowboarding , competing on a twisty curvy course with banked turns. The course is similar to that found in snowboard cross , except smoothed out and without the notch jumps or stepwise rhythm sections. Also unlike snowboard cross, competitors run separately instead of jointly in a heat. Although originally a snowboard discipline, ski banked slalom does happen in some low-level competitions.
