Is 70 mph or Faster Possible on Sun Cupped Snow ?

So maybe this was a dumb question to ask. As many say with cycling racing and a bicycle's performance capability, it's not the bike it's the rider. I'm sure its the same thing with skis to a certain extent. Having difficulty with social cues, social interactions, and now not knowing how to ask good questions on a forum can be added to my list of difficulties living life as a high functioning autistic.

No, your question was fine. This is a tough crowd. Trust me, I feel your pain.

You're going to want those sun cups warm and a bit softened-up before your speed run.

I bet you have a poster of that in your bedroom.

Meh. Just another day at the hill.

I did 79mph in Laramie bowl

any idiot can go fast. It's called gravity.

OK, show us what you've done lately. I believe it takes skill. And cat-like reflexes to deal with the inevitable...not optimum situation.

I figure the video shows some descent size sun cupped snow.[/QUOTE]

Where are you riding that is some completely foreign terrain to me. Never rode conditions like that, but I have a pair of dynastars mythic riders for choppy days they seem to go through just about anything and hold a good edge. 95 in waist metal core, full camber no twin tip would be my best guess

Shit I already broke my core--just skiing some powder earlier this season. Felt a twinge in my side making a turn, pain got worse, so after about a week I got a chest xray--3 broken ribs. No fall or even near fall. So yeah, I probably shouldn't be doing 79.

Enforcers= soft and too much sidecut.

Not on suncups but I did this on a firm, kinda bumpy greybird day in the upper cirque at snowbird. On 1994 atomic powder plus that I rockered myself. Stiff, lots of metal and a 40 meter radius. That's what you want.



Goddamnit the photo uploader really sucks balls these days.

i suspect everybody knows but can you tell me what app you're using?

Impressive.......if you were skiing on suncups. Otherwise.....meh.

I ski well over 100 mph on 60+ degree sun cupped slopes on the daily.

It's pretty easy to spot me on the hill as I look like your typical gym rat! Stringer tank top and long black spandex pants for aerodynamics! Oh wait, if only I had thought of my idea about wrapping my skins around my legs and using the pant to hold them in place and not have to wear my backpack then I probably could have gone a few miles an hour faster. Damn it! Why didn't I think of that sooner?!! I'm sure my backpack didn't help me aerodynamically! Well, this year I won't make that same mistake! lmao Jackets for when it is colder! The hell with jackets, too much drag!

You were good till infinity. Infinity.4?....hmmmm.... Pretty sure the app only goes to infinity.

I went to infinity. Unsatisfied with my first attempt, I then went beyond.

Stringer tank top and long black spandex pants

Oh my!
