Why is the positive elevation gain calculated in downhill skiing?
-
I recently recorded my first alpine downhill skiing activities with Suunto Vertical and realised that it counts the positive elevation gain.
I don’t understand the point of counting it since you go up with the lifts. Is there a way to correct this bug?
This bug is even more annoying on Strava because this elevation gain is added to that of other activities. -
@Fabio-Perotti I already mentioned that several times. I manually edit activity after it’s done to bring back total distance to downhill distance, and set elevation to 0.

@Fabio-Perotti I think noone here will have an explanation for you, on why this is implemented the way it is…
How to correct: Yes, you can manually edit the activity afterwards and change ascent to the actual value you think is correct.

Nobody knows how you got up the hill except for you. You could do it on foot with your skis on the back. You could also ski uphill on downhill skis using XC skiing technique. Not something you wanna do extensively, but it is possible. The watch is not making assumptions on such things.

@cheetah694 fair enought, but with ski resort activity, one could expect that 99,9% of time you take the ski lift ; otherwise, in the cases you mention, I would rather use another ski sport mode.
