Hi, 

I am going in a week for the only 6 days of skiing I will have this year. I am reading lot about the problems with current ski activity. Can anyone explain me, what is the best setting for now and what are the consequences to get the best reliable result? As I will have only few days of skiing I don't want to test any option and get different results every day. 
I am skiing with garmin since I had 920XT, and I really liked the feature of automatic recognition of when I am going uphill to pause the watch. 

As I understand now, I have 2 options:

1) Auto run:on - and it will lap every time I go downhill, but it record lifts as well, and I will get the total distance including lifts, i.e. totally messed up compared to previous years and my wife with Fenix 6..

2) Auto run:off - it will record as before (so same as previous years and my wife's fenix 6), but I will need to press lap each time I will start going downhill (but distance on lifts will not count). 

Am I right? what configuration do you suggest? 

Thanks

    Hi Wojtek_b,

    I have used my Fenix 7X Pro for skiing a few times in the last month with the newest 15.77 firmware. I use the Auto run :on. It records the whole distance including lifts and runs. However, it does report each run separately, including each run length, time, speed, etc. (not including the lifts).

    This is exactly what I want, so I haven't tried with autorun off.

    Hope this helps.

    I have also used 15.77 with my Epix 2 for skiing with automatic run.

    It automatically detects when going up (lift) and down (pist). As said earlier it logs each run as a kind of lap. While going down the screen shows the current time, distance, descent, max speed and average speed. When going up the screen shows a summary of the latest run. Works great.

    But it tells me that I have 5 hours of activity when I've only had 2 hours of skiing time. That can't be right. Messes up my training calendar. Totally pooches my Strava and Training Peaks data.
