Slopestyle biathlon

So I've been at home sick all day watching the Olympics and I think I just came up with a revolutionary new sport. What if we mixed slopestyle and biathlon to create the coolest sport on earth. Slopestyle skiers would do the entire course exactly how they normally would, just with one minor difference. They would have a gun on their back! Once they get to the bottom of the course, they shoot a bunch of shit! That would be pretty fucking cool, plus I wouldn't have to sit through all the Norwegians skating around for 3 hours just so I could watch some shooting.

Because it might go off or because landing on a gun would hurt?

Well rather than packing a large rifle they could keep a more subtle 9mm in their pockets?!

what about at the start of your run you do a little mogul section, then hit rails, then jumps, then you have to do 3 half pipe hits then GS downhill then slalom and then to top it off you have to pick up a gun and shoot the judges cause they would pick the wrong winner

it would be so much cooler if in the Big air event that there was several targets on each side of the kicker so while you are airborne you have to duel wield tech 9s and as you are performing you trick fire them off at the targets then at the bottom of the landing there is a caged bear and the cage's lock is synced with a motion detector that unlocks it when you get to a certain part of the landing zone. When you get there you have to fight the bear.. (using the firearms in the bear fight portion results in disqualification)

I think a slope / pipe combine would be pretty cool, like the DH / SL combine in racing.

There's precedent for this, the Norwegian army did it first:

http://www.snowsports.org/gatekeeper/files/2013_SIA_Snow_Sports_Mid_Season_Market_Intelligence_FINAL.pdf

In the years between 1300 and 1800, the soldiers of Norway, Sweden, Russia and Finland put on skis during the winter
months for military missions. The Norwegians had over 1,500 ski troops by the year 1776 and had written the first ski
instruction book. In 1767, the first military ski competition was held in Norway. The meet consisted of four events:
shooting while skiing at full speed down a hill; skiing through a deep wooded section; skiing down steep hills without
poles; and a cross country run with a pack and rifle. This was the first formal separation of alpine and cross country
skiing.

Already been thinking about it. I was thinking it'd be better on the skier cross though. Then if you fall and you gun goes off you're more likely to hit somebody.

You could have the ultimate gangster contest.

You have four jumps in a row, and people just have to do 180-sw 3-sw 5-unnaty 180 -

Except they have to shoot a target on each hit.

Something similar has been done probably 10 years ago now. No idea what the contest was called, but it was a mogul section with a rail in place of the first jump, another mogul section then a big air jump. Tanner won with his switch rodeo 7 that he was winning everything with at the time.

Yeah, because all the top notch skiers these days are also experts in shooting.

This would be the best thing ever. It should be done with shotguns, and they should be shooting at beer cans.

While hucking triples? I bet the robots would win because everyone knows robots can shoot with pretty good accuracy.

Me and a buddy were talking about it at the bar yesterday. Def have to hold the guns sideways or massive points deductions. I can just imagine somebody spinning around down a rail with xxxxl outerwear sprayin shots into targets. Would get a shit ton of viewers. Way cooler than rollerball.
