downhill skiers
Mountain slope competitors
Downhill skiers are people who ski down slopes rather than across flat terrain or uphill.
The term distinguishes alpine skiing—riding lifts up and skiing down groomed runs or backcountry slopes—from cross-country or Nordic skiing.
Downhill skiers packed the resort over the holiday weekend.
