Cross-Country Skiing Power Data

NOTE: The HRM-Pro series accessory must be paired to the fēnix watch using ANT+ technology.
You can use your compatible fēnix watch paired with the HRM-Pro series accessory to provide real-time
feedback about your cross-country skiing performance. The power output is measured in watts. Factors that
affect power include your speed, elevation changes, wind, and snow conditions. You can use power output to
measure and improve your skiing performance.
NOTE: Skiing power values are generally lower than cycling power values. This is normal and occurs because
humans are less efficient at skiing than they are at cycling. It is common for ski power values to be 30 to 40
percent lower than cycling power values at the same training intensity.
