turns off during exercise
-
@brad_olwin I see, I‘ll try it today without pausing. Thx for the advice!

plus: the watch might count uphills (does it really?), but it will be filtered in your annual statistics. -
Did use Alpine Skiing custom mode today again, with stops every time before taking the chair lift, but without having gps turned on. I decided against using gps, since I preferred more accurate TSS (not stoping the activity before chair lift would generate higher TSS due to seemingly longer activity duration).
Today, the watch never ended the activity by itself. So far so good, but still kind of sad, that the watch can obviously not handle frequent „distance skips“ as produced by stopping the activity before chairlift and resuming afterwards …

I imagine it difficult as it contains a division by 0 depending on the value we want so see (vertical speed: m/h, speed: km/h … etc) -
Besides, this is a bit off topic now, but the watch did measure distance and height, even if somewhat inaccurately.
Without gps enabled, did the watch calculate those values purely barometrically? -
@team-keystroke-harmony
but height of course by baro sensor.
disntance, not sure. for running activities there is an acceleration sensor that calculates distance, but this will not work reliably for skiing afair and afaik.I’m also not sure if your TSS is much influenced if you stop during chairlift rides. it is the intensity and time… time is there, but intensity is low on a chairlift.
I can just tell you what I do, but I am not crazy nitpicky on skis: I start an activity normally at the start of the first descent, pause when we go for lunch and restart when we hit the slopes again… no pauses inbetween whatsoever… not even when queueing before the lift.
I’m happy with how it works and what I see.
…I concentrate on enjoying the rides :hea -
@freeheeler I speculate that the watch does recognize when a downhill stopps through significantly increasing values for height. A new downhill measurement starts, when height values decrease once more.
Therefore I don‘t think there is a /0 problem underlying, since every time I begin to ski downhill a new measurement starts. -
@freeheeler Sure, enjoying the rides always comes first. Nevertheless it is nice to take away some realistic TSS while doing do

@team-keystroke-harmony
I am not sure if TSS is influenced the same way as calories burnt is, when chairlifting… I don’t think so. but maybe @isazi or @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos know? -
@freeheeler TSS as you say above is calculated from HR and time.
@Team-Keystroke-Harmony It definitely makes sense to keep the recording running even when sitting down because your body does not fully stop and is paused to 0 HR too. So let it just run and record along with your activity.
Btw: is taking the lift up and skiing down really regarded being a training with an assigned stress score anyway?
For me the whole downhill part of skiing is the relaxing phase. Earn your TSS from skinning uphill
