Downhill or alpine skiing offers competition in the same events as its Olympic counterpart: downhill, slalom, giant slalom, and super-G. Mono-skis bring competition to those who must sit in order to compete. There are a number of community programs that offer skiing programs that introduce the sport to the beginner and offer the necessary adaptive equipment that will help almost anyone enjoy the snow!

Alpine skiing is available to athletes in the following categories:

  • amputees
  • blind/visually impaired
  • spinal cord injured/wheelchair
  • cerebral palsy/brain injury/stroke
