Straddle (skiing)

To straddle or straddling a gate in skiing means a certain fault where the inside ski passes the wrong side of the gate pole and as a result the pole slides between inside and outside ski. Gate faults like that are especially common in alpine ski racing, but can also occur in other sports like ski cross or snowboarding.
