maggie cormack wins the woman's slalom event at Whistler, BC on TPW !!
Canadian Racer Maggie Cormack (above) on a Training Run, has chosen Teton Powda Waxes for her competitive edge to complement her winning skillset. She's got absolutely impressive form for her age bracket, U16. Barely old enough to drive a car, she already drives those skis like a pro!
congratulations to canadian racer corbin weins !!

TPW IS PROUD TO OFFER YOU WHAT is SOME OF THE FASTEST
SKI AND SNOWBOARD RACE WAX IN THE WORLD
"World Cup Race Pace . . . But, on Beginner Runs!!"
The Streif Downhill event, held in Austria, (shown in the video above) is a Black Diamond (Expert) race course w/ Avg. incline of 27% w/ Max. incline of 85% on fast, hard, icy conditions. Fritz Strobl set the course record for the fastest overall time (highest average speed) in 1997. The North American equivalent would be the Grizzly Downhill event featured in the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics held at SnowBasin, Utah (and returning in 2034!!) w/ Avg. incline of 30.87%, where Fritz Strobl, using a push-off (gate start), down Ephraim's face (70% grade), averaged 64.538 mph (103.864 km/h) over 3,127 yards to win the Gold Medal.
In the Spring, ('23 season) Teton Powda Wax conducted standardized product testing using live, on snow, wax race simulations on a small section of a 🟢 Beginner run (under controlled conditions for safety) w/ Avg. incline of just 14%, (18% grade or 10 degrees Tested) known as the Cinnabar run, at Big Sky Resort, Montana in packed powder. Using numerous pairs of properly prepped 15-20 year old "legacy" rock skis with scratched bases and all. TPW tested and discovered many amazing formulas where we could repeatedly go from a dead standstill—with no push off, and reach 58 mph (93.342 km/h) in just 600 yards in mild beginner terrain using Teton Glass Elite Racing Series Waxes (TGS).
That's World Cup Race Pace. . . but on a Beginner Run!! Similar speed, (with no push-off) on half of the incline or less. Let that sink in for a minute. In January 2025, Jacob Krause (pictured right) was testing some of our Teton Glass Elite Racing Waxes using the Slopes App. Jacob is a snowboarder, and Tech Team Member of Barrie's Ski and Sports in Pocatello, ID, and he was performing a speed test at Pebble Creek Ski Resort, Inkom, ID on a 🟦 run, known as Stacy's Run. Stacy's run is a relatively short run in the 400 to 600 yard range, leading into a Green Circle (Lower Green Canyon), yet Jacob hit a blistering 78.6 MPH or 126.54 km/h!! That is haulin'! Jacob was going 20.6 MPH faster than my personal speed records on 🟢 runs of 58 MPH. Now realize Jacob, and you, could gain another 20 - 30+ MPH of speed going down a black diamond expert level run or race course, like World Cup race courses. Why? For one thing, because of the increased incline, and two, if it was an actual world cup race course, they soak the course with water and let it form a sheet of ice that lowers the coefficient of friction even more, increasing racer speed. That would put you guys on pace for exceeding 98 - 110+ MPH, literally smashing Lindsey Vonn's all time speed record of 86 MPH!! (Which she most likely accomplished on a Black Diamond or steeper run in competition and she has a 19+ lb. weight advantage over Jacob). While this has yet to be proven in real life, the computer models say you can go even faster actually, which is where the TV27 designation comes from (TV27 = Terminal Velocity (160+ MPH) is theoretically possible on a 27 degree incline for a 260 lb. rider, given a long enough run). Jacob was riding a prototype bar of our soon to be released TGES AFTERBURNER v2.0 TV27 Race Wax... the companion to our original AfterBurner formula. Jacob noted the absence of a top out speed, meaning the ride felt as though he would have continued to accelerate if his run was longer. Nothing was holding him back. AfterBurner v2.0 is a completely PFAS, Flouro-free Formula, just like the original. Head over to the Top Gun Leaderboard if you'd like to see more real world performance data from riders just like you. Where you can have a ton of fun and join the competition too. Be the Top Gun of your local run. And don't worry, you don't have to beat Jacob's personal speed record to get ranked on the Leaderboard.

That's how fast many Teton Powda Wax
ski and snowboard waxes are!!
Harakiri - Literally means "ritual suicide by disembowelment"
A very fitting name for this run in Austria with a 78% slope!
Or 4.26x the steepness of the "Cinnabar Tests" featured here.
Skiing Physics
There is a direct relationship between % of incline (slope) and speed, due to gravity. In essence, the steeper the slope, the more gravity's effects are imparted upon you. We perceive these effects in the form of acceleration. When the slope is steep, the skier will change velocity more rapidly = higher acceleration. When the slope is shallow, the skier will not change velocity as rapidly = slower acceleration. So ask yourself what will happen at 14% slope, vs. 20% vs 31% vs 45% vs 72% vs 95% slope? Our blazing fast Cinnabar Speed Test results presented here were achieved at 18% slope or 10 degrees incline, where the rate of acceleration would normally be perceived to be "low."
What in the good Lord's frozen Yeti is going to happen on an icy Black Diamond race course??
(>40% incline)
