	Downhill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"Downhill skiing" is also commonly a term synonymous with "alpine skiing" to denote the sport and recreational activity of alpine skiing in general.
		A typical downhill course begins at or near the top of the mountain on a piste that is closed off to the public and groomed specially for the race.
		In all forms of downhill, both at a local youth-level as well as the higher FIS international level, racers are allowed extensive preparation for the race, which includes daily course inspection and discussion with their coaches and teammates as well as several practice runs before the actual race.
