<P> The vertical drop for a Super-G course must be between 350 -- 650 m ( 1,150 -- 2,130 ft ) for men , 350 -- 600 m ( 1,150 -- 1,970 ft ) for women , and 250 -- 450 m ( 820 -- 1,480 ft ) for children . In the Olympic Winter Games , FIS World Ski Championships , and FIS World Cups , minimums are raised to 400 m ( 1,300 ft ) for both men and women . Courses are normally at least 30 m ( 98 ft ) in width , but sections with lower widths are permissible if the line and terrain before and after allow it . Higher widths can also be required if deemed necessary . Gates must be between 6 m ( 20 ft ) and 8 m ( 26 ft ) in width for open gates , and between 8 m ( 26 ft ) and 12 m ( 39 ft ) in width for vertical gates . The distance between turning poles of successive gates must be at least 25 m ( 82 ft ) . The number of direction changes must be at least 7 % of the course drop in meters ( 6 % for Olympic Winter Games , FIS World Ski Championships and FIS World Cups ) . </P>
