The sport is categorized into various disciplines, including slalom, giant slalom, super-G, and downhill, each with its own set of rules and techniques.
Skiers wear specialized equipment, including skis, boots, and poles, to enhance their performance and safety. Alpine skiing can be enjoyed recreationally or competitively, with events held worldwide, including the prestigious FIS Alpine Ski World Cup and the Winter Olympics.
