Snow Skiing
Snow skiing has long been a popular winter sport and recreational activity that involves participants gliding over snow on runners attached to each foot. Skiing has evolved into a sport with two distinct but overlapping branches. Nordic skiing consists of cross-country travel across relatively flat planes of snow and ice. Alpine skiing is primarily downhill skiing on the slopes of mountains. The fundamentals of the two branches are similar, but the two forms of skiing are set apart by the proper equipment as well as the skills that are required to partake in each activity. There are many kinds of worldwide Alpine ski competitions, including slalom, giant slalom, "Super G," freestyle, or mogul, and downhill racing events.
