Fantastic!
Is it just a slalom ? If there's any downhill the practice day is great as you can practically mingle with the racers. Not sure they have that in slalom as there's no practice run obviously.
Also found it worth getting seats in the stand, depends on the layout of the venue though I suppose.
Some pics of the last two years at Chamonix/Les Houches below.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Jerry, nice pics.
Timberwolf, no practice for slalom, but it's exciting to watch. Unlike downhill where you're probably better off at the finish and can follow most of the runs on the big screen, in slalom you can sometimes find a good spot to watch from at least half way up the course where you can see virtually the whole race. As a good percentage come out early on, you see more of the skiing that way.
Schladming, night race, January... could be bitterly cold though. On second thoughts, the finish area, easy access to hot drinks, sounds good!

Timberwolf, I've done this one several times, you'll love it ! This is the slalom equivalent of Kitzbuehl but try to be in place early as there will be a lot of spectators, when I say a lot expect upwards of 35000. Have a great time
