Super G and downhill skiing are both fast-paced alpine skiing disciplines, but they differ in course difficulty and length. Super G courses have fewer turns and are shorter than downhill courses, making them faster and more technical. Downhill skiing involves longer courses with more turns, requiring skiers to maintain high speeds while navigating challenging terrain.

Alpine Skiing
Downhill skiing involves longer, more sweeping turns at higher speeds, while super G skiing involves shorter, more aggressive turns at slightly slower speeds. Downhill courses are typically steeper and longer, requiring more precise control and technique, while super G courses have fewer gates and more varied terrain. Overall, downhill skiing is more about maintaining speed and control, while super G skiing is about navigating obstacles and making quick, technical turns.

Race skis have a more aggressive side cut and they generally have a wider tip for a sharper turning radius. Also the materials used for racing skis tend to be more expensive. The ski is usually a bit lighter and the materials used, built for high speeds and can take a beating. Down hill would be for a recreational use. For some one who just enjoys skiing rather than lives it.
