The \\\\\\\"skills event\\\\\\\" features a rapidly changing course that tests the racer’s ability to switch thinking and skiing tactics on a moment\\\\\\\'s notice. They are challenged to utilize both their technical and speed skiing skills while adapting to a constantly changing rhythm – something many racers aren’t used to doing. It’s fun for the athletes and even more fun for the spectators!
