Alternative to Alpine, in skiing (6)
I believe the answer is:
nordic
'alternative to alpine in skiing' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for nordic that I've seen before include "Of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland" , "required tall and blonde" , "Relating to Scandinavian language" , "Relating to Scandinavia, Finland and Iceland" , "characters are tall and blond" .)
