Competitors reach high speeds, often exceeding 130 kilometers per hour (81 mph), making it the most exhilarating and demanding of the alpine skiing disciplines.

Depends on what the question refers to: The longest "running" event is the Marathon, but the longest event in terms of distance in the athletics is the Mens 50 kilometre walk (but you certainly aren't allowed to run in that). Alternatively there are a whole series of events that have been included in every Olympics, therefore there is no single longest running event in terms of being at every Olympics.
There are 2 snowboard events, one is called the half pike and the other is the snowboard cross which is a race cut into 2 knock out rounds which then 4 snowboarders meet in the final to see which one gets bronze, silver and gold,
