The Streif in Kitzbühel ranks first in both waves, cited by 55% of respondents in 2023 and 48% in 2026. The Kandahar in Garmisch holds second place, declining from 42% to 33%. Lauberhorn (Wengen) and the Olympia-Abfahrt (Cortina d'Ampezzo) both measure at 33% in 2023 and 28% in 2026. Among tracks with upward movement between the two waves, Saslong in Gröden rises from 10% to 17%, and America's Downhill in Aspen moves from 9% to 14%. The Planai in Schladming remains unchanged at 19% across both measurement points. Podkoren in Kranjska Gora records the lowest values in both waves, at 6% and 7%.
