Garmin vivoactive 4 suddenly not doing activity minutes for downhill skiing.

My Garmin vivoactive 4 was previously considering downhill skiing for activity minutes

As of maybe a week ago this suddenly stopped.

Not sure why you are not considering downhill skiing "active"

Please fix this.

Thanks,

Are you speaking about Intensity Minutes, or about the duration of the Activity, when you refer to "activity minutes"?

In the first case - In order to earn intensity minutes credit, you must reach or exceed 10 consecutive minutes where either your step count rate or heart rate is elevated above the threshold that is considered moderate intensity. So if your downhil rides are shorter than that (or your HR does not rise enough for 10 consecutive minutes), then the time won't be counted as Intensity Minutes.
