  1. Alpine Skiing All the rules you will need to know. By Miller Tan

  2. Alpine: Speed Disciplines • To win you need the fastest time. • Counted to the hundredth of a second. • Since it takes place downhill, crashes can prevent skiers from going downhill. • A skier may finish a race and get an official result as long as he or she retains at least one firmly-bound ski at the finish line.

  3. Alpine: Downhill • You must master speeds up to 90 mph. • You are allowed training runs. • Crashes are uncommon. • Time differences can be a matter of hundredths of seconds.

  4. Alpine: Super-G • Short for super giant slalom. • No training runs are permitted. • Skiers must memorize the course quickly. • Places are decided by pre-race draws.

  5. Alpine: Technicle Disciplines • Held as one-day two-run events. • The skier with the fastest time for both runs is the champion of the race. • High-speed crashes are extremely rare in the technical events, but falls and errors along the course mean it ispossible.

  6. Alpine:Slalom • The slalom event tests a skier's ability to maneuver quickly and efficiently down a ski slope scattered with alternating blue and red gates. • The number of gates on a course is normally between 60-65 for men, 50-55 for women.

  7. Alpine:Giant slalom • The giant slalom features wider, but fewer turns. • The number of gates is determined by the vertical drop of the course. • As in slalom, the gates are set alternately blue and red.

  8. Alpine: Super combined • The combined event tests a skier's ability to handle both the speed and technical aspects of Alpine skiing. • The combined event tests a skier's ability to handle both the speed and technical aspects of Alpine skiing. • History shows that the combined winner was not necessarily the fastest skier in either of the two disciplines.
