From a technology point of view we try not to encourage dangerous skiing, in particular we do not show live speed this is a huge distraction on wearables or connected devices, nor do we provide leaderboards or segments. We are more than happy to analyse any of your tracks regarding the speed. We can provide detailed analysis of the data.

Stasera, ore Il fantastico slalom di Campiglio Giorgio Rocca apripista d'eccezione! Ecco come si prepara Venite a fare qualche "curvetta" con me? Ein intensiver und erfolgreicher Sommer liegt hinter, und ein ebenso harter und spannender Herbst noch vor uns.
Summer corn skiing off chair23 is in its prime Quote rosa Daniela Ceccarelli D'altronde, mica si vince una medaglia d'oro alle Olimpiadi per caso, eh? Tags: Analysis , article , Development , drills , psia. Mach 1. No I always bottle it and starting scrubbing speed, no idea how fast but it feels too fast for me. I keep thinking that if I stack it it's going to hurt, a lot! I think I'm fairly slow, maybe 20mph?
Never thought about measuring it. I know I can't keep up with most of my ski buddies, that's slow enough for me! And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports. Colin B wrote: Mach 1. Really let it rip once and we all had a big car crash type scenario. So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much.
No idea, been clocked at kph once, but I've never been that fast again since. You know it makes sense. Fast enough for me, nowhere near as fast as some. Hurting yourself quite badly even in another sport as a result of crashing at speed tends to have a moderating effect. Plus its rare that grooming is so perfect that you can't potentially hit some cat crap or a ridge between tracks.
Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:. Black runs most people are only doing the same speed as red runs or slower on the steeper sections. For me I know that at around 70mph my back pack makes hell of a noise and that my goggle strap starts to vibrate on my helmet.
For me its only when testing skis that I ever get up to flat out these days, its just to dam quick for most pistes and as others have said its scary! Indeed IME jacket or strap flap will be a pretty strong indicator that speeds are getting high enough much below 70mph.
Plus if your skiing somewhere with a pass on your zipper getting smacked in the jaw causes rapid slowdown. I don't know. The GPS doesn't seem to work in the bar Just under kph through the Wengen speed gun once but normally a lot less. Quote: I've done 58mph on a mountainbike going down the big hill into Eastbourne wow - my legs nearly fell off when I did 30mph on my mountain bike. As for skiing the max I've hit is That was schussing straight down a blue.
I seem to be in my comfort zone between 20 and 30 and Blacks are definately slower than reds. Schuss in Boots , Quote: I don't know.
Developments in GPS just amaze me How does this work? Go out on an empty groomed slope, with a spotter, race skis, and a few different GPS devices. See how fast you can go. Post it. Sit back and watch all the people who weren't there tell you your numbers are wrong. Thread Starter. SSSdave said:. Click to expand Gathermeister Moderator. Joined Feb 9, Posts 10, Location Nor.
Virginia, USA. Why would you go faster on flat than when you are turning? You have very little control when you do that? Last edited: Jan 6, Average top speed for those days? It would take longer than I have at my age to figure that out. Only one day of skiing so far this year and forgot to use Ski Tracks, but I think my top speed that day would hav been in the low teens, at best. Jilly Lead Cougar Skier.

I ski mostly in Michigan so short hills. Advanced skier but not as good as I used to be. The world record for ski jumping is metres - the mighty length of two and half football pitches. It seems pretty clear that skiing is the faster snow sport. Fortunately, speed is not really everything that skiing and boarding are about - tearing up the mountain dangerously fast is a sure-fire way of loosing respect on the slopes.
You will rarely, if ever, see an instructor tearing it around the mountain at a hundred miles an hour with his lesson in tow.
So, skiing should definitely not just be chosen based on speed. Snowboarding more than holds its own in every other enjoyable, or necessary, aspect when compared to skiing!
