A brief introduction to the historical origin of alpine skiing

Alpine skiing originated in the Alps, so it is also called "alpine skiing". Alpine skiing is gradually formed on the basis of cross-country skiing and is a branch of snow sports. It is generally believed that alpine skiing was born in 1907, when the first alpine skiing organization "Alpine Ski Club" was established.

Since the 1920s, alpine skiing competitions have been held in the Alps, and various alpine skiing schools have been established. Since 1936, alpine skiing has been listed as an event in the Winter Olympics. At first, only men and women were all-around (1952 cancelled, 1988 resumed), 1948 added men and women's downhill and slalom, and 1952 added men and women's slalom. By 1988, it has been increased to include men's and women's super giant slalom.
