The super giant slalom (or in short super G) is basically a very fast GS! The toughest part of super G is that you have only 45 minutes to inspect the course and will often be travelling at speeds of up to 80 mph over jumps and tackling difficult turns which you have previously only skied whilst on inspection, sliding through the gates at snail’s pace.
Racers have an hour to free ski on the race hill the day before but there are no training runs through the course before the race. This is an incredibly difficult discipline to succeed in and you need a seriously good memory to remember the ideal race line and to navigate your way over jumps and through huge sweeping turns at these speeds!
