Hi, does anyone really believe the huge burn that MFP gives you for downhill skiing, or know any more information? It gave me over a thousand calories burned for 3.5 hours, even though you end up riding the chairlift a lot of that. Any advice/knowledge if this is correct? Thanks!

I tend to try to balance it by putting in the time that I'm actually skiing not sitting on the lift. I think the calories burnt are for the time actually skiing. I took my heart rate montior out on the hill one day though and burnt about 1400 calories in about 6 hours on the hill, including chairlift, lunch and warm up time.0

I would agree with the above poster. I usually determine how much time I actually ski....i think it also depends on what and how you ski. i am a very aggressive skier and ski lots of bumps and trees.0
