I selected several... maybe the poll should limit to a single selection?

Also, what is "pro skiing"?

On Facebook I intended one answer but people wanted multiple.

Pro Skiing is the dual format like they had in Steamboat last winter.

I picked several as well. Love ski cross, downhill, slalom, super G, etc.

Oh... OK. But that's the tour. The event is parallel slalom or SG. I think the poll would be better with "parallel" replacing "pro skiing".

Nothing scientific -- just a conversation starter.

One of my favorite events: Lots of carnage and the sport really changed after this, but entertaining to say the least.

The Big Mountain events from the World Tour are interesting to see, surprised that wasn't on the list.

 

[Mothertucker]

Knuckle Huck and Kings and Queens of Corbet's.

This poll left out Nordic events.

Ski Jumping and Ski Flying are spectacular in my book (especially in personal attendance).

Freeride big mountain is some of the most fun to watch. Any skiing is great, but Freeride World Tour skiers are just insane, yet they are doing something that many of us attempt to do every trip up to the mountain.

I selected other as well as Slalom, Downhill and Moguls.
Other was selected for aerials, which is something we see when we attend the Deer Valley World Cup Freestyle, which includes events at PC, and DV.
Freestyle involves aerials, moguls, park and pipe

I'm not picking at the poll, just sharing some of what we see when we attend these events.

The 4 traditional alpine events plus Other.

The Other is any technical skiing - the usual youtube suspects and a good measure of the tchie events like the Japanese Tech Championships.

Moguls would rate but those regular, man-made course take out mot of the interest. Highlight reel is enough.

I like GS and DH for the most part. I'm not good enough to see the tech differences in slalom and Super GS seems redundant..

 

[Bill Miles]

I used to like to watch the ski patrol jumps over the Cloud 9 deck at Aspen Highlands.

 

[geepers]

Super GS seems redundant

Interesting event. No practice, just inspection and race. See some wild skiing with that one...

 

[jt10000]

Biathlon relays at the top level. Wild wild wild.

I really like watching DH. I like watching SG too, provided it isn't a GS masquerading as a SG. I don't mind GS. I'll watch SL too, but I just don't relate to SL as much as DH for some reason.
