Performance Analysis: Birds of Prey Men’s Weekend

When it comes to alpine skiing, the exhilaration of carving down a mountain is often accompanied by intense physical demands on the body. Conventional ski equipment, while designed to enhance performance, often transmits significant vibrations and impacts directly to the skier. Enter ShredShox, the ONLY full-suspension ski platform, engineered to change the game by dramatically reducing these forces.

Testing ShredShox at Beaver Creek

To put ShredShox to the test, we conducted a controlled study on the slopes of Beaver Creek, focusing primarily on the upper half of the mountain. With its mix of green and blue runs and fair snow conditions, this environment provided the ideal setting for evaluating performance across a variety of skiing scenarios.

Using accelerometers placed on the ski and directly under the foot on the ShredShox platform, we measured differences of forces experienced by the skier. The results were astounding:

  • Average Reduction in Acceleration: The ShredShox platform reduced acceleration by an average of 97% compared to conventional skis.

  • Peak Impact Reduction: Even more impressively, peak moments of acceleration—the harshest jolts a skier might experience—were reduced by a staggering 1100%.

What These Numbers Mean for Skiers

Skiing is not just about speed and agility; it's about maintaining control, comfort, and longevity on the slopes. The extreme reduction in both average and peak accelerations means less wear and tear on your body—your knees, back, and overall skeletal system benefit from significantly less stress. This translates to more energy for longer runs, faster recovery times, and a more enjoyable skiing experience overall.

The ShredShox Difference

Unlike traditional ski setups, ShredShox incorporates advanced suspension technology that absorbs and mitigates impact forces before they reach the skier. By isolating the body from these forces, ShredShox enables smoother turns, better edge control, and an unmatched sense of stability. Whether you’re cruising down greens or shredding steeps, ShredShox delivers comfort and performance like no other.

Experience the Revolution

ShredShox is redefining what’s possible in alpine skiing. For anyone who’s felt the toll of a full day on the mountain, or simply wants to elevate their skiing experience, the data speaks for itself: ShredShox is not just an upgrade; it’s a game-changer.
