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 47). 1 From the watch face, press START. 2 Select Backcountry Ski or Backcountry Snowboard. 3 Select an option: • If you are starting your activity on a climb, select Climbing. • If you are starting your activity moving downhill, select Descending. 4 Press START to start the activity timer. 5 If necessary, press LAP to switch between climbing and descending tracking modes. 6 After you complete your activity, press STOP, and select Save. Cross-Country Skiing Power Data NOTE: The HRM-Pro series accessory must be paired to the D2 Mach 1 watch using ANT+ technology. You can use your compatible D2 Mach 1 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. 34 Activities and Apps
