Teh problem with optional slaloms is that the correct sense of the
slalom will be obvious to the veterans, while others will waste one or
two runs figuring it out (at least until they get to watch the
veterans).  And to a rank novice, a slalom without pointers looks a
lot like a wall.  We've been getting enough DNFs as it is, with fully
marked slaloms.
