In skiing you must go around the outside of the gate but the colors of the gate alternate, so every other gate is blue and same with red.
What are the parts of an alpine ski course?
The starting gate, the course (made up of a series of red and blue gates, or poles), and the finish line.
In slalom alpine skiing how do skiers know which poles to go around?
Traditionally, each gate is marked by two poles of the same color, and the racers have to ski in between two poles. Both tips and feet have to break the imaginary plane connecting between two poles. So generally, racers just go around the inside pole of each gate. To simplify the setup of the course, the outside poles are sometimes left out. The exceptions are the combinations: under gate, hair pin,flush. Unlike most common gates that are across the fall line(horizontal), combinations are made up by two poles of the same color along the fall line( vertical). Combinations have to be set up by two poles. To sum this up, go in between two poles of the same color, ski to the outside of the single poles. Watch some races and you'll learn.
If you fall in downhill skiing are you disqualified?

What is a ski race?
Alpine There are 4 main types of alpine ski racing: slalom, giant slalom, super giant slalom and downhill. In the events you must ski around "gates" without missing a gate or you will get disqualified. You race against people in your age and gender and whoever make it down the course the fastest wins! Cross-country Is divided into classic and free (skate) categories or a combination of them. You ski a track which is a mix of uphill, downhill and flat parts ranging typically from a few to 50 kilometers. And as for alpine skiing, fastest to complete the course wins.

Why do you hit the gates in the giant slalom?
I think you may be mixing up two different Alpine Skiing events. Giant Slalom is a course where gates are more spread out. Two vertical poles with a net in between generally make up one gate. Slalom courses are closer together, with one vertical pole making up each turn/gate. In Giant Slalom, a racer may hit the gate with their hip or pole, usually when in a tuck. In Slalom, skiiers cross-block gates with their poles or shins as they are finding a shorter line and setting up their next turn. Not the best answer, but close enough.
