Giant Slalom Race

The course is set up on a red run, with circa 20 gates spread quite far apart down the slope.

The idea is to ski around the single gates - red, blue, red, blue, etc.

The closer you ski to the gates and follow the slope, the faster you go!

But you can do this at your own pace. You can even snow plough down the course (or throw in extra turns between the gates!).

Basic training and an introduction to skiing gates will be provided on the piste at 09.45am on Race Day and Chemmy will be giving you all lots of useful tips, with the support of local instructors from the ski school.

You will be given a race bib at the welcome reception on the evening of the 22 January and this will be your start number.

You will then need to be punctual at the start of the course for 11:45am. You only need to complete one run for a result but everyone will have the option of a second run if you want to try and improve or just get that buzz for a second time.

Dual Parallel Slalom Team Race

This is a team knock out event and a great spectator sport as well.

This is a shorter course, where two courses, red and blue, are set up in parallel.

Here the gates are poles and are much closer together down the slope, so you need to make more turns and not be distracted by the racer to your side!

Again the more you hug the pole, the faster you will go.

It is a simple head-to-head team relay so no timing is involved. The first team to cross the line goes through to the next round and it’s a knock out tournament format.

The first member of each team starts at the same time, as soon as the first skier of the first team crosses the finish line the second skier sets off, then the third once the second reaches the finish line. The winning team is the one that finishes all three team runs first.

There are then quarter finals, semi-finals and finals, to get to the winning team.

Teams of three will be arranged by the LSH inviting hosts.

• Fastest Male
• Fastest Female
• Andy Tudor Fastest Snowboarder
• Fastest Newcomer
• Most Stylish Descent
• Fastest LSH Descent
• Fastest Guest Descent
• Safest Descent
• Most Distinctive Technique
• Most Distinctive Outfit
• Most Spectacular Wipeout
• Fastest Men's Team
• Fastest Mix Gender Team (min 1 female)
• Fastest Women's Team
• Dual Parallel Slalom Race Winners
