basically they hit the poles that the flags are attached to. this is because they want to get the best line possible to gain speed and achieve a better time. By hitting the gates it means they can get a tight line

Why do alpine skiers use tuck to make them faster?
The "tuck" position is more aerodynamic so there is less wind resistance. This makes a particularly big difference in downhill and super-g races when the skiers are reaching speeds well over 100km/h and every 0.01 of a second counts. It is also important in the slower disciplines giant slalom and slalom but it is not as important.
