Skistreissä

Skistreissä is a term of German origin that refers to a type of ski or snowboard race characterized by a slalom course. These races typically involve navigating a series of gates or poles set up on a slope. The objective is to complete the course in the fastest possible time while successfully passing through all the gates. Skistreissä can be a part of various competitive skiing and snowboarding disciplines, including alpine skiing and snowboarding. The gates are usually spaced closely together, requiring quick turns and precise movements from the competitors. The terrain on which skistreissä are held can vary, but it is generally a prepared snow surface. The specific rules and distances between gates are determined by the organizing body for the particular event. These races test a skier's or snowboarder's agility, balance, and speed. The term is less commonly used in English-speaking contexts, where "slalom" is the more prevalent term.
