Alpine Skiën

Alpine skiing is a competitive winter sport that involves skiing down snow-covered hills and mountains on specialized equipment. It typically uses fixed-heel bindings, allowing the skier to control their descent and navigate through a series of gates set on a marked course. The sport encompasses various disciplines, including slalom, giant slalom, super-G, and downhill, each defined by specific course layouts and techniques. Alpine skiing is often performed on groomed trails and requires skill in speed control, turning, and balancing on the slope. It is a popular recreational activity as well as a key event in the Winter Olympics and other international competitions.
