350mph



Kilometers per hour. Get it right.

A buddy and I took snowboards and sneaked onto that groomed run the night before the championship. Best and fastest run we ever had.

Fast enough to get to my wife who had oxygen mask on due to severe altitude sickness.

I think clocked at 299 792 458 m / s, give or take.

It was years ago; before cell phones. I was going crazy fast and heard a REALLY loud noise. I guess you could call it a boom. My friends thought I created a sonic boom because I was going faster than the speed of sound.

I think 288 is the correct answer.

Yeah that's what I thought, so I took a friends phone and went on a run to compare the apps on both phones. For top speed on the run, his said 56 mine said 50. So it probably is a little inaccurate



Ah, so you were probably going closer to 90. Cool

They don't groom it like normal groomed runs. It's basically an ice sheet on race day, how it's supposed to be. I skied it a few days after an event a couple years ago and it was nasty. I'm just glad to not lose an edge and go flying into the trees. I kept my speed in the upper 20s low 30s though to avoid a catastrophe. If you think you're Bode Miller on that run when it's in race condition, you're not gonna have a good time lol.

Not sure how fast I was going when I came to an immediate stop. After being rescued by the ski patrol, an ambulance ride to the hospital, a torn ACL, torn MCL, torn meniscus, and a fractured knee cap, I will never do that stupid shite again.

Yeah I'm afraid of that happening, I really don't like going that fast. All it takes is a fall and you can be fricked
