Downhill is an alpine skiing discipline. The rules for the Downhill were originally developed by Sir Arnold Lunn for the 1921 British National Ski Championships. "Downhill skiing" is a commonly used term that is synonymous with "alpine skiing" to denote the sport and recreational activity of alpine skiing.
The Downhill discipline involves the highest speeds and therefore the greatest risks of all the alpine events. Racers on a typical international-level course exceed speeds of 130 km/h (81 mph) and some courses, such as the notable Lauberhorn course in Wengen, Switzerland, and the Hahnenkamm course in Kitzbühel, Austria, speeds of up to 150 km/h (93 mph) in certain sections are common. Competing in the Downhill event requires skiers to perfect an aerodynamically efficient (tuck) position to minimize drag and increase speed. This contrasts to the technical expertise required in lower speed slalom events (Super G, Giant Slalom & Slalom) where turns are progressively more emphasized.
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. Gates are farther apart. The courses in the world's most notable ski areas are well-established and do not change a lot from year to year.

Genres: ,I'm leavin' to walk the road inside my head
With cord in hand and powder breath I stand and wave goodbye
Goodbye...
The systematomatic thinks, while buying blood on Broadway street where the old messiahs go
That pulsing through the atmosphere are answers to the questions you should know
Don't let it go, or it's all downhill from here
Examples of the afterlife responding visions half the time and the other vertigo
Spun off the Earth a thousand times and caught the wind that purifies the soul
You should know, it's all downhill from here
Lost out here adrift in lights, it's wonderous
Weightless in clouds of colors the world will never see
And I am a figment of reality
Wrapped in the shroud of endless night I scream aloud
But no one hears, so I tell my stories to satellites
And I am lost inside a memory
The pattern picks the pockets of the palindrome
Back to front the loss remains the same
And it beckons to the East to give the West it's eyes
While the oscillating rhythm marks it's bones
To the young it gives a vision of the dead and gone
While the old recieve a passion to survive
And the pattern picks the pockets of the palindrome
