I was just up at Mt Snow this morning doing some skiing. And re-confirmed my recollection that the hill the slalom course is supposed to be on is retardedly small. I have no idea how to build anything longer than a 10-12 second course on that hill.

It might not be long but it is a pretty decent spot for it. If they start it out on the flats up top and carry it out almost to the parking lot at the bottom the length will be decent. They ran an old Trail 66 Slalom down there one year and it is still one of my favorite slalom courses of all time. With a few flat corners, a few berms, and some decent jumps I would be all about racing it again.
