Alpine skiing at the 2006 Winter Olympics consisted of ten events, held at Sestriere and Cesana-San Sicario, Italy.

[1] Fifty-eight nations contributed alpine skiers to the events at Torino.

In general, athletes must be among the top 500 in the world in their event to compete.

Each National Olympic Committee may enter up to 22 athletes, but not more than 14 men or 14 women.

If an NOC has fewer than 2 athletes qualified under those rules, it may send one male and one female athlete with an FIS score of no more than 140 in the slalom or giant slalom event.
