Power skids are caused by too much power and typically occur on all of the following surfaces EXCEPT:

Power skids result from applying excessive throttle, leading the driven wheels to lose traction while trying to accelerate. This phenomenon can occur on surfaces where grip is compromised, which includes low-friction environments like snow, ice, and sand. Each of these surfaces reduces the tire's ability to maintain control and acceleration, making them prone to power skids when too much power is applied.

Black-top pavement, or asphalt, typically provides better traction compared to the other mentioned surfaces. It has higher friction levels, which allows for better grip of the tires under acceleration and reduces the likelihood of a power skid occurring. Therefore, while power skids may easily happen on snow, sand, and ice due to their slippery nature, they are far less common on black-top pavement where tires can effectively maintain traction.
