What SkiCoach Measures

Using your phone's GPS, accelerometer, gyroscope, and barometer

✅ What We Measure

●
Speed: Current, maximum, and average (GPS-based, ±2 km/h accuracy)
●
Distance & Altitude: Total descent, vertical drop per run
●
Turn rhythm (BPM): Beats-per-minute of your skiing pattern
●
Movement patterns: Orientation-independent dynamic G-forces, rotation stability, smoothness
●
Fall detection: High-G impact events (5G+ threshold with 3.5 rad/s dual confirmation)
●
Session data: Run count, time, timestamps
●
Lift detection: Automatic ski lift recognition via altitude + speed pattern

❌ What We Do NOT Measure

●
Video analysis: No camera required, no video processing
●
Edge angles: Precise ski edge measurements require boot sensors
●
Pole plant timing: Cannot detect ski pole usage
●
Snow conditions: Powder vs groomed detection not possible
●
Calorie burn: No heart rate sensor integration

How the 0-100 Score Works

Transparent methodology. No black box.

Your Technique Score is calculated in real-time by analyzing sensor data from your phone:

40%

Edge Control

Orientation-independent dynamic G-forces + rotation magnitude

40%

Turn Quality

In-turn fluidity (70%) + carve engagement (30%) + interval consistency

20%

Speed Score

Speed appropriate to skill level — wider range, no penalty for experts

❄️ Indoor Scoring (50/50)

Indoor venues have no GPS — speed is removed. Edge Control and Turn Quality carry equal weight at 50% each.

🎯 Skill-Level Calibration

Scoring adapts to your level: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, or Expert. An expert's dynamic carves score higher than a beginner's snowplow — as they should.

⚠️ Accuracy Expectations

The score is a relative indicator, not an absolute measure. It's most useful for tracking your own progress over time. Scores can vary ±5-10 points based on phone model, pocket placement, and slope conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does SkiCoach work indoors?▼

Yes! Since v1.2.0, SkiCoach has a dedicated Indoor Training Mode. It uses your phone's barometer to detect individual runs (descent + lift/conveyor) and scores your technique using accelerometer and gyroscope only — no GPS needed. Supported venues include Ski Dubai, Snow Abu Dhabi, SNOWworld Landgraaf, and Alpincenter Bottrop. Enter a facility code in the app to activate indoor mode.

Does SkiCoach work without internet?▼

Yes, 100%. All sensor processing, scoring, and audio coaching happens on your device. Internet is only needed to download the app initially.

How accurate is the technique score?▼

The score is a relative indicator. Expect ±5-10 points variation between runs due to conditions, phone placement, and slope difficulty. Most valuable for tracking your own progress over time.

Where should I put my phone?▼

Front pants pocket (thigh area) gives best results. Chest pocket works too. Avoid backpacks – too much independent movement.

Can I export runs to Strava?▼

Yes! Export any run as GPX, then upload to Strava manually. Also available: CSV for spreadsheets and JSON for developers.

How long does battery last?▼

Four adaptive modes: Full (>50%): ~4 hours. Balanced (20-50%): ~6 hours. Eco (10-20%): 8+ hours. Emergency (<10%): GPS + fall detection only. Cold weather reduces battery life – keep phone warm.

Does it work with screen locked?▼

Partially. GPS tracking (speed, distance, route) works with screen locked. However, iOS and Android restrict motion sensor access when screen is off – so technique analysis requires screen on. Tip: Lower brightness and disable auto-lock for full AI coaching while saving battery.

Is there a subscription?▼

No. SkiCoach Pro is €19.99 one-time. No monthly fees, no annual renewals. Free tier is free forever with 3 runs/day limit.

What languages are supported?▼

English, German, French, and Italian – both for the app interface and audio coaching.

Does fall detection call emergency services?▼

No. When a fall is detected, you get an "Are you OK?" prompt. The app can alert your pre-set emergency contact but does not automatically dial emergency services.

Which sensors does the app use?▼

GPS, accelerometer, gyroscope, and barometer. Standard sensors in all modern smartphones – no external hardware needed.

Does it work for snowboarding?▼

The technique score is calibrated for skiing. Snowboarders can use speed tracking and fall detection, but scores may not be as meaningful.

Which countries are supported?▼

SkiCoach works anywhere with GPS signal for outdoor skiing. For indoor venues, GPS is not required — the app uses barometer and motion sensors instead. Available globally on iOS and Android stores. No region locks.

How do I delete my data?▼

Settings → Delete All Data. Since data is only on your device, uninstalling the app also deletes everything.
