I had to do chairlift count before then, and having the watch makes vertical not something I monitor so much during the ski day but just record at the the end. <br /><br />I looked a couple of time during Sunday due to the pace Bill was setting and was in general pleased I wasn't tiring out too fast given that I'm an amateur from SoCal and this was the last day of a 10-day trip. The hero powder was a big part of that and on a less forgiving day I might be lucky to keep up with Bill until lunch. I missed a couple of runs late but still ended up with 30,870. <br /><br />What I do have is a good visual memory, and on my 10th lifetime day at Fernie Bill expanded my horizons greatly into terrain I had not skied before but surely will when I come back.

Did they cross reference the data against lifts riden to double check their devices?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02372454032580441991noreply@blogger.com
