Slalom skiing is a competitive winter sport where skiers navigate through a series of closely spaced gates set on a downhill course. The goal is to complete the course in the shortest time possible while maintaining control and balance. Skiers must make quick turns to pass between the gates, which are typically marked by poles. This sport is part of the larger category of alpine skiing and is featured in events like the Winter Olympics. Slalom skiing requires a combination of skill, agility, and speed, making it a thrilling spectacle for both participants and spectators.
