'''Slalom''' is an [[alpine skiing]] and [[alpine snowboarding]] discipline, involving skiing between poles or gates. These are spaced more closely than those in [[giant slalom]], [[super-G|super giant slalom]] and [[Downhill (ski competition)|downhill]], necessitating quicker and shorter turns.  Internationally, the sport is contested at the [[FIS Alpine World Ski Championships]], and at the [[Olympic Winter Games]].

{{Main|History of skiing}}
[[File:Nathalie Eklund - NM i Trysil.jpg|thumbnail|right|[[Nathalie Eklund (alpine skier)|Nathalie Eklund]] skis slalom at [[Trysil Municipality]], [[Norway]] in 2011]]
The term '''slalom''' comes from the [[Morgedal]]/[[Seljord]] dialect of the [[Norwegian language|Norwegian]] word "slalåm": "sla", meaning "slightly inclining hillside", and "låm", meaning "track after skis".<ref>''Kunnskapsforlagets idrettsleksikon''. Oslo: Kunnskapsforlaget, 1990, p.273.</ref>  The inventors of modern skiing classified their trails according to their difficulty:  
*''Slalåm'' was a trail used in [[Telemark]] by boys and girls not yet able to try themselves on the more challenging runs. 
*''Ufsilåm'' was a trail with one obstacle (''ufse'') like a jump, a fence, a difficult turn, a gorge, a cliff (often more than {{convert|10|m}} high), et cetera. 
*''Uvyrdslåm'' was a trail with several obstacles.<ref>[http://www.stolaf.edu/naha/pubs/nas/volume29/vol29_12.htm NAHA // Norwegian-American Studies<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> 

A Norwegian military downhill competition in 1767 included racing downhill among trees "without falling or breaking skis". [[Sondre Norheim]] and other skiers from Telemark practiced ''uvyrdslåm'' or "disrespectful/reckless downhill" where they raced downhill in difficult and untested terrain (i.e., off piste). The 1866 "ski race" in Oslo was a combined cross-country, jumping and slalom competition. In the slalom participants were allowed use poles for braking and steering, and they were given points for style (appropriate skier posture). During the late 19th century Norwegian skiers participated in all branches (jumping, slalom, and cross-country) often with the same pair of skis. Slalom and variants of slalom were often referred to as hill races. Around 1900 hill races were abandoned in the Oslo championships at Huseby and [[Holmenkollen]]. [[Mathias Zdarsky]]'s development of the Lilienfeld binding helped change hill races into a specialty of the [[Alps]] region.<ref>Bergsland, E.: ''På ski''. Oslo: Aschehoug, 1946, p.27.</ref>

The rules for the modern slalom were developed by [[Arnold Lunn]] in 1922 for the British National Ski Championships, and adopted for [[alpine skiing at the 1936 Winter Olympics]]. Under these rules gates were marked by pairs of flags rather than single ones, were arranged so that the racers had to use a variety of turn lengths to negotiate them, and scoring was on the basis of time alone, rather than on both time and style.<ref name="Hussey:9">Hussey, Elisabeth. "The Man Who Changed the Face of Alpine Skiing", ''Skiing Heritage'', December 2005, p. 9.</ref><ref name="Bergsland1952">Bergsland, Einar (1952). ''Skiing: a way of life in Norway.''

==Course==
[[File:Slalomstangen_normal.png|thumbnail|100px|right|Example of a slalom course, whereby the skier passes through pairs of poles (gates) of alternating colors on this German language diagram. ''Ziel'' stands for the finish line.]]
A course is constructed by laying out a series of gates, formed by alternating pairs of red and blue poles. The skier must pass between the two poles forming the gate, with the tips of both skis and the skier's feet passing between the poles.  A course has 55 to 75 gates for men and 40 to 60 for women. The vertical drop for a men's course is {{convert|180|to|220|m|0|abbr=on}} and measures slightly less for women.<ref name=alevcn>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Y6VAAAAAIBAJ&sjid=rwYEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6656%2C9104829 |newspaper=Ocala (FL) Star-Banner |agency=Universal Press Syndicate |last=Slade |first=Daryl |title=Alpine evolution continues |date=February 12, 1988 |page=4E }}</ref> The gates are arranged in a variety of configurations to challenge the competitor.

==Clearing the gates==
Traditionally, bamboo poles were used for gates, the rigidity of which forced skiers to maneuver their entire body around each gate.<ref name=stonslrg>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ZYFeAAAAIBAJ&sjid=52ENAAAAIBAJ&pg=5266%2C3522138|newspaper=Observer-Reporter|location=[[Washington, Pennsylvania]] |title=Alpine skiing: Stenmark on slalom |agency=Associated Press |date=February 13, 1994 |page=C7 }}</ref> In the early 1980s, rigid poles were replaced by hard plastic poles, hinged at the base.  The hinged gates require, according to FIS rules, only that the skis and boots of the skier go around each gate.

The new gates allow a more direct path down a slalom course through the process of cross-blocking or shinning the gates.<ref name=ghnlisp>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=FfY9AAAAIBAJ&sjid=FEkMAAAAIBAJ&pg=5992%2C5715078 |newspaper=Glasgow Herald |last=McMillan |first=Ian |title=A new line in slalom poles |date=February 28, 1984|page=24 }}</ref> Cross-blocking is a technique in which the legs go around the gate with the upper body inclined toward, or even across, the gate; in this case the racer's outside pole and shinguards hit the gate, knocking it down and out of the way. Cross-blocking is done by pushing the gate down with the arms, hands, or shins.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Bell|first1=Martin|title=A matter of course|url=https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2001/mar/24/wintersportsholidays.wintersports.guardiansaturdaytravelsection1|newspaper=The Guardian|access-date=18 October 2014}}</ref> By 1989, most of the top technical skiers in the world had adopted the cross-block technique.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Gurshman|first1=Greg|title=To Cross-Block or Not To Cross-Block?|url=http://www.youcanski.com/en/coaching/slalom.htm|access-date=18 October 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141025095019/http://www.youcanski.com/en/coaching/slalom.htm|archive-date=25 October 2014|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

If both feet and ski tips have not crossed the gate line, a fault is committed. This could be due to a [[Straddle (skiing)|straddle]] or other factors.<ref>{{Cite web |title=THE INTERNATIONAL SKI COMPETITION RULES (ICR) BOOK IV JOINT REGULATIONS FOR ALPINE SKIING |url=https://assets.fis-ski.com/f/252177/8663e3cdf7/icr_30-03-22_final.pdf |date=2021-12-01 |access-date=2025-10-12 |website=[[International Ski and Snowboard Federation]]}}</ref>

== Equipment ==
[[File:Skis carving race cross slalom 02.jpg|240px|thumb|right|Bottom: 2013 FIS legal slalom race skis, top: giant slalom race skis from 2006]]
With the innovation of shaped skis around the turn of the 21st century, equipment used for slalom in international competition changed drastically. [[FIS Alpine Ski World Cup|World Cup]] skiers commonly skied on slalom skis at a length of {{convert|203|-|207|cm|1}} in the 1980s and 1990s but by the [[Alpine skiing at the 2002 Winter Olympics|2002 Olympic Winter Games]] in [[Salt Lake City]], the majority of competitors were using skis measuring {{convert|160|cm|1|abbr=on}} or less.

The downside of the shorter skis was that athletes found that recoveries were more difficult with a smaller platform underfoot. Out of concern for the safety of athletes, the [[International Ski Federation|FIS]] began to set minimum ski lengths for international slalom competition. The minimum was initially set at {{convert|155|cm|1|abbr=on}} for men and {{convert|150|cm|1|abbr=on}} for women, but was increased to {{convert|165|cm|1|abbr=on}} for men and {{convert|157|cm|1|abbr=on}} for women for the [[2004 Alpine Skiing World Cup|2003–2004 season]].
 
The equipment minimums and maximums imposed by the International Ski Federation (FIS) have created a backlash from skiers, suppliers, and fans. The main objection is that the federation is regressing the equipment, and hence the sport, by two decades.<ref>{{cite news|title=Giant Slalom Racers Object to a Mandate on New Equipment|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/23/sports/giant-slalom-skiers-object-to-equipment-mandate.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220101/https://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/23/sports/giant-slalom-skiers-object-to-equipment-mandate.html |archive-date=2022-01-01 |url-access=limited|access-date=15 February 2017|newspaper=The New York Times|date=22 November 2011}}{{cbignore}}</ref> 
 
American [[Bode Miller]] hastened the shift to the shorter, more radical sidecut skis when he achieved unexpected success after becoming the first [[AAU Junior Olympic Games|Junior Olympic]] athlete to adopt the equipment in giant slalom and super-G in 1996. A few years later, the technology was adapted to slalom skis as well.
