After a point won't it just be easier to drag him down to your level? Go full Tanyia Harding on him maybe?

@swskier,
That looks fab, congratulations.
Where were you skiing?
Can you (and others) put the little map summary up?
No worries if you can't, it just curiosity on my part.

Tried to bank a few extra points (or even1!) today, but too scratchy, getting freeze/thaw now here on the pistes......
The active coach is a good training tool though!
And once over Ski:IQ 150, eveery point is hard earned so fair play if you top me, that said as the owner of this thread I may have to apply age weighting

Perfect conditions up on the glacier here, just lack of time to keep going! Next weekend needs to hurry on round!

I think you'll still get given a ski IQ, but you'll not get any in-depth feedback or data. I also don't think you'll be able to view other peoples data.

Hi just joined forum.
I managed to get a 150 in Solden last week. Albeit on a black run in tough conditions. The app appears to be able to take into account piste condition etc.

@The_Nuneaton_Nuke, without sounding too much like a stalker, I found your run on Carv.
Interesting to see you data vs my 151, which would suggest to me that perhaps the score is bumped up if you're on a more tricky run/conditions. And/or Balance scores massively effect your overall figures.
For comparison:
Your 150
Balance 77 (great)
Edging 63 (good)
Rotary 64 (good)
Pressure 73 (good)
My 151
Balance 73 (good)
Edging 79 (great)
Rotary 80 (great)
Pressure 76 (great)
Lots of work on balance for me coming up!

@ollski2.0, that's a lovely blue run that, with all the natural undulations. Usually pretty busy around there though.
If you want a quiet day away from the crowds, spend a morning in Gerlosstein! Or a whole day if you're ok with lapping the sam runs.

Absolutely, it was so nice on Saturday earlyish... Think I might ski changeover day every time! First time on the Ahorn this year as well in 10 visits and loved that red run Almost top to bottom.

I'm yet to venture up there. Will have to give it a go at some point.

A measure of how much you can miss the point by and how much joy you can suck out of skiing

If your ski pass allows and you don't mind losing a few hours in travelling (which can be the non skiable ones either end of the day) go up to Gerlos. The bowl up there is perfect for learning to carv.- wide, gentle blues.
It's popular with the Dutch so gets busy in their holidays, afaik, no Brit TOs go there
Last year, when everything was grassy and slushy lower in the valley, it was busy with day visitors.
The snow reports on the resort FB look good so far. You can also free bus up a bit higher to Königsleiten.
Sorry, this was for the person in Mayrhofen.
That blue run on Ahorn is really good for practice but @#@#, that lift back up each time is horribly cold and slow!

@The_Nuneaton_Nuke, @ollski2.0, are those scores your best 10 run+ Ski:IQ, top right on your home page? If so, pm me and I'll add you both into the leaderbard!

@swskier yes my scores are down as it was a chewed up black run on a snowy/rainy day so takes conditions Into account. I also spent the week on long 96 wide 18m radius ELAN Riptides which make carving more difficult. Hope to get back out in a few weeks and take the Stockli carvers! My previous best was 146 carving last year.

I got a 147 on a chopped, but soft piste last week in La Clusaz, CARV had it down as extreme ungroomed, I guess it senses lumps and bumps and adjusts accordingly, it was a higher score than expected for sure!

@KenX, Hintertux Glacier the only decent place here currently to score well, but the wind did try and hinder that today.

We're taking your top score as the figure top right currently on your home page, mine was 156 last year, but got bumped down to 154 at the start of this season after the Hintertux update
