What is Alpine Ski?

Alpine skiing is an exciting winter sport that challenges the athlete’s downhill racing ability and coordination.

As in all Special Olympics sports, athletes are grouped into competition divisions according to ability level, age and gender when appropriate.

Athletes in Illinois who participate in alpine skiing can compete at their local Alpine Qualifier. Athletes can then advance to the state championship held during the Winter Games in Galena in late January or early February.
