Super G
Held at Kvitfjell, this is a shorter track than the downhill course. It features a natural sequence of long and medium turns, including gates positioned to slow skiers down and create sweeping lines. This is the longest of the slalom events, and the winner is decided after one run.
Giant Slalom
Held at Hafjell, 15 km north of Lillehammer. The course is designed with long, medium, and tight turns in a natural sequence with gates that exploit natural variations in the terrain. The winner is decided after two runs, with the player's rank calculated using the lowest combined time.
Slalom
The Slalom course at Hafjell is the shortest of all the alpine skiing events. The gates are positioned to provide a number of changes of direction while allowing skiers to gain speed and maintain a steady flowing rhythm. The winner is the competitor with the fastest aggregate time after two runs down different courses.
Freestyle Moguls
Taking place at the Kanthaugen Freestyle Arena, the skier performs an individual descent of high-speed turns down
