Alpine skiing is skiing down a hill. The word comes from the Alps, the highest mountains in Europe where downhill skiing started. Beginners slide down gentle slopes and keep the front tips of their skis together. This is called a snow plough. When you get better you ski parallel and keep your ankles together.
For many years skis were made out of wood. Today modern carvers are made of a combination of different materials. They have metaledges and are broader at the ends so that you can turn more easily. Generally, better skiers use longer skis because they keep steadyat higher speeds. Safety bindings help prevent leg injuries. They separate you from the skis when you fall down.
