STRAVA INFO

All racers will need a STRAVA user profile. If you don’t have a Strava account already, we suggest getting one and becoming familiar with it. There is a free version.

There are two ways to use Strava:

  • Download the App to your phone.
  • Make sure GPS is enabled
  • Make sure your phone is charged and Battery Saving Mode is OFF
  • Hit Record, then hit Start
  • A Skiing start is necessary for accurate timing. Be sure to hit “Record” and “Start” before you go past the Start Segment Sign. And, conversely, ski past the Finish Segment sign before you hit “Stop”>”Finish”>”Save” (this terminology is Strava specific. We recognize that those skiing with GPS head units have different steps and lingo)
  • Strava will recognize the portion of your ski that matches our Strava Segment and we’ll take it from there.

Use a GPS unit from a company such as Garmin, Suunto, Polar:

  • Ski the segment
  • Upload to Strava after your Ski
  • Strava will match your Ski to our Segment and we’ll take it from there

LIVE SEGMENTS for PRE-RUNNING and DURING EVENT Starred Segments

  • If you “Star” the segment the App will alert you as you're getting close to the start of the segment.
  • This can be very useful for PRE-Skiing before the course gets marked.
  • There is a star next to every segment you look up in your dashboard. Simply click that Star.
  • Approaching a segment: You will hear an audible cue (a chime) if enabled, and see a notification when approaching a starred or popular segment.
  • Starting a segment: You will see your current progress on a map, but will not see comparison metrics (PR or KOM/QOM/CR)
  • Completing a segment: When you complete the segment, you will be shown your final performance results and will be transitioned back into the normal recording experience. 

Strava Subscribers:

  • Approaching a segment: When approaching a starred or popular segment, you will be transitioned from your recording screen to a Live Segment notification. You will hear an audible cue (if enabled) and see the segment name and your position relative to that segment.
  • Starting a segment: When you pass into a segment, you’ll be shown a bird’s eye view where you can follow your avatar as well as the avatars for your PR (if one exists for this segment) and KOM/QOM/CR progress.
  • Completing the segment: When you complete the segment, you will be shown your final performance results and will be transitioned back into the normal recording experience.
