What is parallel giant slalom snowboarding?
If you are a serious downhill ski racer then you know that you need to invest in at least two pair of skis. One pair of skis is for slalom racing while the other pair of skis is for giant slalom racing. Slalom skis tend to be shorter in length and narrower because you need to move your skis quickly. In slalom the gates are fairly close together and you need to be able to maneuver around them with lightning speed. Shorter skis allow quick movement and helps prevent catching your tip on a gate. Giant slalom skis tend to be longer and wider because you have a greater distance between gates. You want as much flat surface area of the bottom of your ski to be in contact with the snow as possible to increase your speed. The size you choose for your slalom and giant slalom skis depends on your height, preference, and skiing ability. Consult with a ski professional to help you out.

Slalom, giant slalom, and super G are all alpine skiing disciplines that differ in course layout and speed. Slalom has the shortest course with the most gates placed closely together, requiring quick and precise turns. Giant slalom has fewer gates than slalom and a longer course, allowing for faster speeds and wider turns. Super G has the longest course with the fewest gates, allowing for even higher speeds and wider turns than giant slalom.
