The alpine skiing competition of the Vancouver 2010 Paralympics will be held at Whistler, British Columbia.

Events scheduled for 13 March, however, were postponed due to weather conditions – specifically, low visibility.

[1] In the Women's sitting giant slalom, Alana Nichols of the United States – a Paralympic champion in basketball from Beijing in 2008 – won her first of two skiing gold medals, becoming a rare winter-summer gold medalist.

She had previously won gold in the 2000 and 2004 Summer Paralympics for women's goalball.

The skier with the visual impairment and the guide are considered a team, and dual medals are awarded.
