Slantworks Telemetry — Alpine Division

Nothing fast
is ever level

We instrument downhill athletes on the grades that actually hurt. Fourteen sensors, one board, 900 samples a second — and a readout your coach can act on before the lift ride ends.

01 — The Gradient

Slope is the only honest variable

Flat-ground testing flatters everybody. Put the same rider on a 32° face and the differences show up in the first four seconds — edge chatter, hip collapse, the half-beat of hesitation before the fall line.

Every figure below is drawn from the 2025–26 winter block: 41 athletes, 6 venues, 2,180 instrumented descents.

02 — The Rig

One board. No wires you can feel.

The AX-2 pod bonds under the binding plate and disappears. Nothing hangs off the rider, nothing needs charging mid-session, and the whole array survives a season of ice impacts.

04 — Voice from the hill

“It told me my left edge was late. Not my coach. The board.”
Marta EllsworthAlpine squad, third season on the AX-2

Riders get one page after each descent: a slope-normalised score, the three worst turns, and a single instruction. No dashboards, no forty-tab exports, no homework.

05 — Programs

Book a block, not a subscription

Seasons are short and the snow decides the calendar. Every program is bought as a fixed block of instrumented days with an analyst attached.
