SKI FASTER THAN YOU DRIVE
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 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. For another comparison, we hit similar speeds on a 🟦 Intermediate Run (Big Thunder, bottom section) at Grand Targhee, Alta, Wyoming, but we did it in half the distance, just 300 yards before launching ourselves airborne near the base of the Dreamcatcher lift!

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)
