People do that all the time on their park boards, at least according to their mobile phones.

Think it’s a shame that the track in Les Arcs is no longer maintained I did it 40 years ago twice in Arc 2000 as a 15 year old part of a ESF teenagers course , still got a certificate somewhere clocked an official time of 137km

This is the speed track in Sun Peaks. It was, then dunno about now, a normal piste. We skied it a few days before a competition

Ah, I know something about that, having some connexions to the non-FIS speed ski people and Sun Peaks, albeit from a decade or so back.
That's "the headwalls" and it's not a full sized speed ski track, but as you say it's where they hold speed races in North America.

Respect.
I photographed a few speed ski events and although someone offered to lend me the correct type of snowboard, I didn't have the courage.
They actually designed the courses back them to limit the top speed - the idea wasn't to just go faster and faster, it was a competition on the day.
