Slalom Course Entry Gates

Do you have to ski between the two entry gates for the slalom pass to qualify?

For a full pass to count...both entrance and exit gates required.

WHAT?!! You mean I can't just hang outside 1-ball? I actually have to start on the left side and ski toward it?!!! Highway robbery I say.

(Sorry...a bit sarchastic today...it's Monday).

Nah. He didn't say you have to start on the left side--just that you need the gates. Try following the boat, straight through the gates, you'll be much closer to one ball than if you start way off to the left. Let me know if this helps.

There is one small exception to that... if you're skiing in an NSL tournament you can skip the entry gate at first. If I remember correctly after three passes of skipping the gates and skiing the intermediate balls you then have to hit the gate and ski the "real" skier balls.

hahahaaaaa...I'll give that a try. That's good physics, I say.
