Skiing corrupt FIT File

Hi,
I went skiing 2 times this weekend and ended with 2 corrupt FIT files which CONNECT can not SYNC.
What is wrong with the file?
I asked Garmin for help but they do not reply.
Made with Fenix 5 and Firmware 11.0.
Can sombody repair them?

Thanks
Marcel

Yes, that worked. Thanks a lot.
But I am afraid, that it happens every time with this "Skiing Activity". This must be a bug in Garmin Firmware. (but they still have not replied). ( Am I the only skiier?)
Do you have any idea, what was wrong with the FIT-file?
The file has now less than half of the original size. What info got lost?

The Fenix5 is a nice watch with a good hardware, but the software has too many bugs and Garmin seems not to be willing to correct them.
I already found several, have sent one of them which is still after month not corrected! Poor performance of their developpers!

Samsung has also a new nice Sportwatch, cheaper and better?
