Abstract
[b]Aim of the study.[/b] High mountain skiing (alpine skiing) in its growing popularity was the main subject of our research, which was purposed to characterize this winter sports activity especially from the perspective of its professional undertaking.[b]Material and methods.[/b] The study, conducted on the basis of our own questionnaire, covered 109 respondents from Poland and Slovakia, who went in for amateur or professional high mountain skiing. Preceded by specialist literature review, the survey has proved that in defining this sports genre we should consider its professional aspect that had not been taken into account before.[b]Results.[/b] Orientation towards sports professionalism that has been observed in high mountain skiing these years has indicated indirectly the upward trend in this sports genre. Compared with foreign professionals, Polish skiers were characterized by younger age and shorter experience than the Slovaks, who at the same time presented higher level of sports competence. In addition it was observed that Polish professionals began their preparations for winter seasons later and finished them earlier comparing to the Slovaks.[b]Conclusions.[/b] The respondents put accent on the need for further organizational and financial development, pointing out that the driving force behind the progress in this area would be introducing most important Polish ski competitions into the World Cup series.
