Description taken from PlayStation 2 version of this game

Alpine Skiing lets gamers strap on the boots of world skiing stars Bode Miller and Hermann Maier and swoosh down the mountain in world cup downhill action. Skiing enthusiasts can also create their own character and battle through three levels of competition on their way to the top of the professional mountain. With 16 peaks to conquer and four downhill skiing disciplines, gamers can participate in 38 separate racing events. Competitions include downhill, Super-G, Giant Slalom, and slalom events, but skiers can also relax and take a free ride down the slopes or participate in a speed downhill event. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide
