==Competition==
Elite competitive skiers participate in the [[International Ski Federation|FIS]] [[FIS Alpine Ski World Cup|World Cup]], the [[FIS Alpine World Ski Championships|World Championships]], and the [[Alpine skiing at the Winter Olympics|Winter Olympics]]. Broadly speaking, competitive skiing is divided into two disciplines:
* Racing, comprising [[Slalom skiing|slalom]], [[giant slalom]], [[Super-G|super giant slalom]], [[Alpine skiing combined|combined]], and [[Downhill (ski competition)|downhill]], [[parallel slalom]] and [[parallel giant slalom]].
* [[Freestyle skiing]], incorporating events such as [[Mogul (skiing)|moguls]], aerials, [[halfpipe]], and [[ski cross]].

Other disciplines administered by the FIS but not usually considered part of alpine are [[speed skiing]] and [[grass skiing]].

The '''triple crown of alpine skiing''' consists of winning all three World Cup titles in one season or all three Gold medals at the [[Winter Olympic Games]] in [[Slalom skiing|Slalom]], [[Giant slalom]], and [[Downhill skiing]] events. Only two people have ever accomplished the feat:
*Austrian skier [[Toni Sailer]] was the first person to win the Triple Crown of Alpine Skiing at the [[1956 Winter Olympics]]
*At the 1968 Winter Olympic Games French skier, [[Jean-Claude Killy]] won the Triple Crown.
