Fastest speed you have skied?

[Greg]

Absolutely no idea, nor do I really care. The only thing I am sure of there have been many times I've been going faster than I wanted to... :lol:

I am not sure of my actual speed when the sonic boom was heard in the Mad River Valley

I have no clue, but I'd be interested to know. Last year on Ripcord at Sugarbush, I did a few GS turns then pointed my tips straight down the fall line (groomed flat during a snow drought). It was the fastest I'd ever gone, and it took me longer to stop than I expected, almost skidded into the woods.

This!

I know I don't ski as fast as a lot of my peers, and I'm okay with that.

Faster than some, slower than others...:razz:

 

[campgottagopee]

The older I get the faster I was.

 

[deadheadskier]

no clue. Next time I'm in the car, I'll put my helmet and goggles on and stick my head out the window to try and estimate.

I'm guessing I rarely go over 30ish.

And all along just thought it was flatulence. :-o

I might have to grab one of these to check some speeds of my friends this winter...

I was goofing at Wachusett with my Garmin Forerunner GPS. The fastest I hit there was about 48 mph. I'm sure I've gone faster elsewhere.... before I got a GPS!

 

[drjeff]

Although one day my Phresheez app said I made it upto 75mph (although I had forgotten to turn it off after skiing and was headed South on I-91 at the time :lol: )

this thread needs some Highwaystar.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Absolutely no idea, but I'd love to know.

I am, however, positive it would be on the combination of Upper Nosedive to Lower Nosedive at Stowe, on one of many numerous empty midweek days when I would treat that trail as a personal downhill track.

thanks to this thread i remembered pack my gps for skiing the loaf this weekend.

Another good thing on phones if you've got GPS is MyTracks from Google. I use it on my android. You can turn it on and track your progress over the entire day.

This has nothing to do with skiing but I was in Venice last summer and we did one of some walking around the city

I might try it out when skiing next. I'm just nervous of digging it and breaking my brand-new phone!

Anyone use Ripxx? There's only a couple tracking apps on WP7, and one of the two reviews for Ripxx is from Ripxxprez. I'm thinking that one may be biased. The other app (skierapp or something like that) didn't seem to work all that well the one time I tried it and I guess does not save its state, meaning data is gone unless I keep it open until I get to a computer.

I consistently max out at 56 pretty much every day I ride, as noted on the skitracks program for my iphone. Its usually in a few select spots, and definitely on groomers.

Average speed round 35 through most stuff that isnt to tight, 40-45 on groomers. All verified by GPS.

Straight up pointing it Ive hit 64. This gps thing is addictive. That was on first tram, fast hard day. I honestly dont think I could physically go faster on my board, I felt the acceleration just end. Kinda weird feeling actually.

Out west you can let em rip much easier and safer. I bet I wouldnt come nearly as close on an average day back east.
