¡

  • Records gate faults (incorrect passage)

¡

  • Reports situations involving requests for a re-run

CORRECT PASSAGE: ¡ DOUBLE POLE & DOUBLE GATE ¡

  • Gate Line: Imaginary shortest line at snow level between

two inner poles (DH, SG, FIS & USSA scored GS have 2 pairs of poles - inner & outside - with flags between them) ¡

  • Correct Passage: Both the competitor’s ski tips and both

feet must cross this gate line. ¡

  • Correct Passage does not require that the competitor be

in actual contact with the snow ¡

CORRECT PASSAGE: ¡ SINGLE POLE SL & SINGLE GATE GS ¡

  • Correct Passage:

Both feet & ski tips must pass the turning pole of the turning gate on the same side following the normal race line & crossing the imaginary line from turning pole to turning pole. ¡

SINGLE POLE/SINGLE GATE ¡

  • Single pole / single gate courses are

mostly set using only a turning pole ¡

  • Some double poles / double gates are

required: ¡

  • First and last gate for SL & GS

¡

  • Combinations, e.g.

¡ flushes & hairpins for SL delays for GS ¡

slide-11
SLIDE 11

SLALOM DOUBLE -vs- SINGLE POLE GATES ¡ • Completing correct passage of a missed double pole/double gate, requires the competitor to hike up and cross the imaginary line that extends from inner pole to inner pole (from either direction) with both feet and both tips ¡

  • Completing correct passage of a missed

single pole/single gate, requires the competitor to hike up and loop around the top of the turning pole/gate (in either direction) with both feet and both tips ¡

SLIDE 12

SLALOM HIKING ¡

  • A competitor who misses a gate in Slalom

may hike as long as the competitor does not interfere with the run of the following competitor. ¡

  • A competitor who has been passed may

not continue on course. ¡

  • A competitor who continues to race after

committing a gate fault or after stopping, is subject to a Jury penalty. (USSA scored races) ¡

slide-13
SLIDE 13

GIANT SLALOM ¡

If a competitor comes to a complete stop (e.g. after a fall), he must no longer continue through previous (hike) or further gates. This is valid in all events with a fixed start interval (DH, SG, GS). ¡ A competitor who continues to race after committing a gate fault or after stopping, is subject to a Jury penalty. (USSA scored races) ¡

IMPORTANCE OF DIAGRAMS ¡

  • The Gate Judge must verify a fault with a

diagram ¡

  • If the Gate Judge marks a bib # as having

committed a fault and does not supply an accurate diagram, THE FAULT WILL NOT BE VALID! ¡
