Skirace refers to a competitive event in which participants race downhill on skis, typically held on snow-covered slopes. It encompasses various formats and disciplines, including alpine skiing, freestyle skiing, and ski cross, each featuring different techniques and courses. Skiraces can vary in style, such as slalom (short, quick turns), giant slalom (longer, wider turns), and downhill (high-speed, longer courses). Competitors are timed, and the fastest racer down the course wins the event. Skiracing can occur at local, national, or international levels, often governed by organizations like the International Ski Federation (FIS). It is a popular winter sport that showcases skill, speed, and agility on skis.
