For those who are used to recreational skiing, ski racing is an exciting and competitive evolution.
The sport is competed across 4 disciplines, with slalom at the more technical end; short skis and short, rapid turns which relies purely on technical skill and stamina.
Next is giant slalom with more open, faster course but still classed as a technical discipline. The two speed events Super-G and Downhill are both exhilarating and challenging. Longer, straighter skis are used to travel as fast as possible down very open (albeit often technically challenging) courses with speeds of up to 70mph.
