The title covers most of it.
I finally figured out why my Ski days are so "off", most of the time. You can enable "Auto-Pause:While Stopped", but you have to re-enable it EVERY time you start a (DH) Ski activity.
For XC Skate Skiing this works, or was working back in December when I was doing this a bunch.
I'm wondering if I've just done something to hose my DH Ski activity Settings, or if this is just a (fairly simple, from a s/w engineering perspective) bug? Is there ANY way to daylight this to Garmin Support?
I'm betting that most of the "skiing is broken" posts are related to this, as it does seem to cause dis-function in more than just stopping for lunch or a chat, it also seems to cause "chairlift weirdness" when I forget to manually re-enable auto-pause-when-stopped EVERY darn time I start a ski day.
