Alpine Skiing

Alpine skiing is a competitive and recreational winter sport that involves sliding down snow-covered hills on skis with fixed-heel bindings. It originated in the mountainous regions of Europe, notably the Alps, and is characterized by its focus on downhill skiing techniques. The sport is typically categorized by various events, such as slalom, giant slalom, super-G, and downhill, each varying in course complexity and speed.
