Recording a Backcountry Skiing or Snowboarding Activity
The backcountry skiing or snowboarding activity lets you switch between climbing and descending tracking
modes so you can accurately track your statistics. You can customize the Mode Tracking setting to
automatically or manually switch tracking modes (
Activities and App Settings, page 34
).

Cross-Country Skiing Power Data
NOTE: The HRM-Pro series accessory must be paired to the epix watch using ANT+ technology.
You can use your compatible epix watch paired with the HRM-Pro series accessory to provide real-time
feedback about your cross-country skiing performance. The power output is measured in watts. Factors that
affect power include your speed, elevation changes, wind, and snow conditions. You can use power output to
measure and improve your skiing performance.
NOTE: Skiing power values are generally lower than cycling power values. This is normal and occurs because
humans are less efficient at skiing than they are at cycling. It is common for ski power values to be 30 to 40
percent lower than cycling power values at the same training intensity.
