Race in a slalom is a type of skiing competition where skiers must navigate through a course of gates. The gates are arranged in a zigzag pattern and the skier must pass through each gate in order to complete the race. Skiing slalom requires a great deal of skill and agility as the skier must be able to quickly change direction while maintaining speed. Slalom races are often held on steep slopes, making it even more challenging for the skier. The term for this type of skiing competition is SKI.
