This is a speed based timed discipline, where competitors ski down a steep course that can finish 450 metres (1,480 ft) to 800 metres (2,600 ft) lower than it started while containing many turns and jumps.
The winner is determined based on one run down the course, with the competitor with the fastest time being the winner.
Skiers navigate between gates in the Downhill, the fewest gates amongst all para-alpine disciplines, and if they miss a set, they are disqualified.
In some competitions that require qualification for entry, a skier can qualify for this discipline through Downhill or Super-G. There are Disabled FIS points available in sanctioned events.
This race is included on the current Paralympic programme.

Skis for women must be at least 200 centimetres (79 in) long with a tolerance of 1 centimetre (0.39 in).
For men, the ski length must be at least 205 centimetres (81 in) long with the same tolerance.
Women and men's skis need a minimum radius of 45 metres (148 ft).

Men and women both need their skis to have a profile radius of 67 millimetres (2.6 in).
Top speeds in this event can be up to 100 kilometres (62 mi) an hour.
Before the start of the event, the skier is required to do a practice run, and is required to wear a helmet during all their runs.
