I have a text (a skiing brochure) which differs between ***sci alpinismo*** and ***sci alpino***, but which doesn’t actually say what the difference is.
Is there a difference, or do they both mean the same thing (i.e. alpine/downhill skiing)?

off track skiing
Ryan, you are right sci alpino = downhill skiing
Usually "sci alpinismo" is done off track and generally walking or climbing up mountains in order to reach "virgin" slopes. Much more fun than heliskiing!

This is what the Ragazzini dictionary says
sci alpino = alpine ski (super G, giant slalom, etc.)
