We've just got back from a little over three weeks in Colorado on a skiing trip, and some of the things I've never got to the bottom of are far I've skied and how fast I've skied. Now however I've got a neat little app that runs on my phone that can tell me everything that's going on when I'm on the move. Using GPS it will tell me all I need to know about how fast I've traveled, where I've traveled, and how far I've traveled.
I know this is all a bit nurdy but as a result of my handy little app I now know that in the nine days we skied we were actually slid a little over 300 miles downhill. We took the lift just over 100 times, we did a little over 180,000
vertical feet, and my maximum ski speed was 75kph.
And as if all that wasn't enough the cost per lift ride was $8.40, the cost per mile skied = $2.80, and the average ski per day was 33.3 miles.
