What each input means

Runs Per Day
Average number of lift-served runs you take per ski day. Typical range is 6–15 runs.
Vertical Per Run
Average vertical drop per run in feet. Check your resort's trail map for lift-served vertical.
Days Skied
Total number of ski days this season. Average season pass holder skis 8–20 days.
Skier Weight
Your weight in pounds, used to estimate calories burned. Heavier skiers burn more energy.

What each result means

Total Vertical Feet
Total vertical feet descended over the season. Elite skiers log over 1 million feet per season.
Total Vertical Meters
Total vertical descent in meters.
Estimated Calories Burned
Approximate total calories burned from skiing. Based on weight and vertical feet as a proxy for effort.
Everest Ascents Equivalent
How many times you descended the height of Mount Everest (29,032 ft). A fun benchmark for your season.
Miles Descended
Total vertical distance converted to miles.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Runs Per Day = 10, Vertical Per Run = 1500, Days Skied = 15, Skier Weight = 170 = 4 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Total Vertical Feet
    Total Vertical Feet
    225000 = 225000
  3. Calculate Total Vertical Meters
    Total Vertical Meters
    68580 = 68580
  4. Calculate Estimated Calories Burned
    Estimated Calories Burned
    10328 = 10328
