This is gonna be a little confusing... There are 4 events in what is called alpine or downhill ski racing Downhill Super-G GS Slalom So, alpine refers to skiing in general, whereas downhill can be used to refer to all skiing or only one event. Hope this helps :)
One can go alpine skiing anywhere with a steep downhill slope such as the mountains in Denver, Colorado or Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs. Alpine Skiing can pretty much be done anywhere with a steep hill.

There are quite a few websites where an individual could purchase a Salomon alpine boot for skiing. Examples would include Salomon's official website, Ebay, and Back Country.
I think skiing started in Scandinavia as a mode of transport. Sandre Norheim of Norway is known as the father of modern skiing and was considered one of the best skiers at jumping, parallel, and Telemark style turning during the 1800's. From there, skiing was brought to the Alps and the US. Skiing might have been invented separately in China, but I'm not sure about that. Alpine skiing came around in the Alps in the 1880:s.
Slalom is the name given to water skiing with one ski.

Back country skiing is where one hikes to the crest of a hill, and alpines down. A type of skiing similar to back country skiing is telemark skiing. Back country skiing has no synonyms.
