National Para-Alpine Racers in Sun Peaks, TELUS Para-Alpine Canadian Championships, Results Standing Skiers male and female - March 12 2008, the third day of Championships. Slalom (SL).

Slalom: The Slalom is a technical event. The course is shorter than other Alpine Skiing events with a high number of gates (55-75 gates on a men's course and 40-60 on a women's course) that the athletes must negotiate. The penalty for missing a gate is disqualification. Each athlete completes two runs on the same day on different courses. Times from the two courses are added to determine the order of finish.

Athletes in certain Paralympic classifications (e.g. single-leg amputees who ski without a prosthesis & sit-ski users) use special poles called outriggers. Outriggers have short ski blades on the end and help the skier with balance.
