Canoe or ski race (6)

I believe the answer is:

slalom

(Other definitions for slalom that I've seen before include "Downhill ski-race over a winding course" , "Winding ski-run" , "Downhill ski race over a winding course" , "Ski race down zig-zag course" , "Downhill race over a winding course on skis" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
