H Gate

An H gate, correct me if I'm wrong because that's what we've been calling it, is two closed gates in a row, which are set something like this (or at least this is how it was in the 2nd run on Saturday night):

                I       I
           I
           I I
             I
I       I

So you ski through the first open gate on your left foot, and the ending open gate on your right foot, if that makes sense. It skis just like a hairpin, but with much more of a direction-change required in the middle. The strangest aspect is just the barrage of gates you see when skiing into it!
