Nice. But you forgot Bormio. From the start to the finish there is a difference in altitude of 1000 metres. It's really technical and really exhausting (almost like Wengen) because you're always cornering at over 100 km/h and has a lot of spectacular sectors like the diagonal "carcentina" . Should be number 2 or 3 of this list. It' s considered by many the most technical downhill in the world and a swiss sport manager once said: "The Stelvio slope is the Scala theatre of winter sports."
St moritz? 1. Kitzbuhel (is this really up for debate?) 2. Wengen 3. Garmisch 4. Beaver creek 5. Bormio Val Gardena is much safer since they smoothed out the camel bumps.
@@dhowe5180This ranking refers to the history of the slopes in general, not specifically to the slopes of today. Val Gardena has been a very dangerous slope for many years (perhaps even too much). Wengen is less technical than Kitz, but more demanding and equally dangerous. Beaver Creek is relatively recent, so does not have much history. And I don't understand what St Moritz is doing here either...
@dhowe5180 I think Kitz has more epic parts, and more dangerous parts, but Wengen has the speed and a touch last section after a long race. Just think of everyone that crashed because they were tired. Prime Val Gardena is super sketchy too

Yes, debated it for St.Moritz or Val Gardena
St moritz?
1. Kitzbuhel (is this really up for debate?)
2. Wengen
3. Garmisch
4. Beaver creek
5. Bormio

@HansMayer-p1s exactly. St. Moritz is debateable, but the fog and 45° start gives the fastest accelerations
