Location | Gudiberg |
Vertical | 200 m (656 ft) |
Top elevation | 950 m (3,117 ft) |
Base elevation | 750 m (2,461 ft) |
The slalom race was held on Sunday, 9 February 1936 on the slalom slope at Gudiberg.
The conditions were good with temperatures of −7 to −5 °C (19 to 23 °F). The vertical drop was 200 metres (656 ft) and the length of the course was 600 metres (0.37 mi) with 33 gates. Rather than disqualification, penalties were added to the finishing time when competitors missed a gate.
The race started at 11 a.m. and the competitors started in the finish order of the downhill race. Downhill winner Birger Ruud was the first racer on the slalom course, but finished sixth in the slalom portion and fourth overall.
After the first run of slalom, the jury decided which competitors were allowed to continue, so only 33 racers competed in the second run.
