Skis: The skis used in Alpine Skiing events are long and narrow (minimum of 60mm). Men's skis are a minimum of 165cm and women's skis are a minimum of 155cm. The maximum height of the binding plate is 55mm in all events.

Sit-skis: Some athletes with a physical disability compete from a sitting position using a sit-ski, also called a mono-ski. As the name suggests, mono-skis have a specially fitted chair over a single ski. The chair includes seat belts and other strapping, as well as a suspension device to minimize wear and tear on the skier's body.

Poles or outriggers: Skiers in Alpine Skiing events use poles for propulsion and balance. The poles for Downhill and Super-G events are curved to fit around the body. Slalom poles are straight and usually have plastic guards to protect the hands from injury. Athletes in certain Paralympic classifications (e.g. single-leg amputees who ski without a prosthesis, sit-ski users) use special poles called outriggers. Outriggers have short ski blades on the end and help the skier with balance.

Boots and bindings: Boots for Alpine Skiing events have a hard plastic exterior with extensive foot and ankle support. The heel height of boots is regulated, with a maximum distance of 50mm between the sole and the hee. Alpine skiers use bindings that attach at both the heel and toe.

Helmets: Hard-shell helmets are required in Alpine Skiing events.

Goggles: Goggles are used to protect the eyes and to maximize visibility.

Clothing: Alpine ski races wear lightweight, form-fitting clothing (all in one suit) to minimize air resistance. Slalom skiers frequently wear pads to protect from injury.
