Questions about Ski Activity

Former Member over 6 years ago

Ski season is starting here in the Colorado Rockies. This is the first winter I've had my F5x. I've looked at the screens and the info seems interesting.

Are there any tips or tricks to get the most of the the Ski mode?
Do I hit start and leave it run?
Should I wear the watch on my wrist or over externally (over the glove or backpack strap)?
Is the Ski mode even worth my time?

Thanks all

I used it last winter, just started it in the morning and let it run, even in a restaurant during lunch. I was not interested to check any special options to be honest, just took it as additional bonus to get nice relive after the day (relive in mountains looks really impressive). Watch automatically recognized the lift and skiing, the measured distance was quite in line with skipass.
Get ready for daily charging if you ski like 8 hours. Maybe there are some better options, this is how I used that and will again this season.

I have a Fenix 3 and now I have the Fenix 5x. I have used the Fenix 3 out west and in the mid-west. The mid-west had short runs of less than 200ft vertical, so sometimes it didn’t show how many runs I did but the distance was pretty good.

Thanks for the advice. Sounds like I'll give it a go.
