How do you ski slalom?

You weave in and out of a series of flags planted along a defined course. If you skip a flag you DNF "did not finish". The faster you complete the course the better.

You also have Giant Slalom, Super G (Super Giant Slalom) and Downhill. These are faster variations of the traditional slalom. The course is longer and the flags are positioned further apart. This makes the course faster as you need to make less of a sharp curve to reach the next flag. Downhill being the fastest.

In case you are talking about waterskiing, slalom is the same as in snow but with boueys floating on the water.
