Ski cross – a competitive skiing discipline
Ski cross is a freestyle skiing discipline, in which four skiers race on a specially designed course at the same time. Ski cross courses include natural ski slopes as well as artificially constructed features, such as big jumps, rollers and high-banked turns.
Ski cross racers use the same equipment as alpine skiers. Competitions are held in several rounds. The first round is a time-trial round, in which all but the fastest 32 skiers are eliminated based on their finish times.
