      Hi! So this issue isn’t solved yet?

      Tomorrow I’ll go skiing the first time with the watch. Do I need to pauze the watch when I’m in chair lift? Or is this going automatically or does it not matter? Maybe I’ll need to select a different sport.

      The trick is to reset the watch for 12 seconds before doing the activity?

            Unfortunately I got this issue again on my Race 2 with newest fw. Strange that yesterdays skiing was alright but today morning it stuck showing nothing on the screen, had to restart after first run after that it was ok. Not a big issue, but would be nice to not have it 🙂

              Hello,

              I was just skiing 6 days and alpine ski mode worked perfectly. I did two sessions per day, one in the morning and second session on the afternoon. I did not needed to do reboots or anything else. Watch is Race 2 with latest fw.

                        @tomahawk5000 it works for me designed. All downhill parameters show correctly. Mind you, I have customised all of my activities, including alpine skiing. I show total descent, max speed, number if runs, and activity duration. I don’t remember when this problem went away, but I think, it was around mid-January.

                        Another data point: quite often I don’t do two consecutive alpine skiing activities in a row. Usually, I have another activity in-between. This means that alpine skiing needs to be reloaded.

                          @tomahawk5000 mine is showing zero, as well, but I wonder if this is relevant or not. I’ll have to analyze it further if that is really the first run or if that is a “ghost run” (walking from the lodge to the lift etc.) - this is like it looks like. It shows (in my case) zero time, as well. When you check the number if runs, it shows the correct number (one less than what is displayed in the analysis). So that 1st run of zero length and duration does not count.

                              @tomahawk5000 my vertical shows correctly (if anything, a bit high; Strava adjusts it down). I don’t track distance in alpine skiing (I find irrelevant), only vertical (descent).
