It reminded me to the international game show "Games without borders" (Jeux sans frontiers) - Gen Y and older might remember that.

I didn't know that (according to the Wikipedia article above) it even had a winter version 

They absolutely need to bring that back!

It’s nice to see something new; let’s hope this sport continues at the next Winter Olympics

I really like small odd sports, I mean I play curling myself, but this didnt seem like an olympic discipline. Especislly the "giant slalom" part was just pointless and they were not so good at it either. 
Feels like most elite cross country skiiers could be potential medalists in this sport with a few months of training

Nope, it's a complete different sport. It's more similar to mountain running.
