It is characterized by the requirement for mechanical assistance getting to the top of the hill, since the equipment does not allow efficient walking or hiking, unlike cross-country skis which use free-heel bindings. It is typically practiced at ski resorts which provide services such as ski lifts, artificial snow making and grooming, first aid, and restaurants. Back

What is Super G? Super G is short for Super Giant Slalom and is an alpine skiing event combining downhill skiing with navigation through slalom courses. The sport first become popular in the 1970s, and premiered as a World Cup event in 1982. It requires skill in both downhill skiing and slalom, and is perhaps one of the most intense alpine skiing contests. Significant speed and accuracy in turns are important, since missing a turn around a gate, made of two poles, immediately disqualifies the racers. There are some differences between Super G and slalom. The angle of a slalom course is less severe than that of downhill. Further, skiers must ski part of the race in a tucked or downhill position in order to increase speed.
