Alpine Skiing: everything in one place
Carve down the mountain on two skis. A whole-platform hub assembled from 12 sections of existing, cross-linked knowledge — skills, rules, equipment, science, calculators, comparisons, diagrams, learning and research.
Overview
Alpine skiing, also known as downhill skiing, involves descending snow-covered slopes on a pair of skis, using edges and body position to control speed and direction. Lifts carry skiers back up, so the focus stays on the descent, and runs are graded from gentle beginner slopes to steep advanced terrain.
It combines the thrill of gliding downhill with genuine physical demand, and its wide range of graded runs means the same resort can suit a first-timer and a confident skier on the same day. Learning with qualified instruction and skiing within your ability are the foundations of enjoying it safely.
