how long is the super g

In alpine skiing, the super‑G race itself usually lasts about 1 to 2 minutes per run for World Cup–level athletes, depending on the course and conditions.

Course length and drop

• A super‑G course is shorter than downhill but longer than giant slalom.

• The course is defined mainly by its vertical drop , not just by horizontal distance:
  • Men: about 350–650 m of vertical drop (raised to at least 400 m at Olympics/Worlds/World Cup).

* Women: about 350–600 m of vertical drop (also minimum 400 m at top events).

• In practice, that translates to a run of roughly 1–2 km down the hill, skied in around a minute or a bit more, with racers often topping 100 km/h.

How long are super‑G skis?

If by “how long is the super G” you meant the ski length instead of the course:

• Super‑G skis are longer than giant slalom skis for stability at high speed.

• Typical FIS minimum lengths:
  • Men: about 205 cm.

* Women: about 200 cm.

• Many race‑room super‑G skis fall roughly in the 195–210 cm range depending on level and category.

Quick recap

• Race time: about 1–2 minutes per super‑G run at elite level.

• Course: medium‑long speed course, vertical drop ~350–650 m for men, ~350–600 m for women.

• Skis: long, high‑radius race skis, roughly 200 cm and up for top‑level racers.
