Power is the force you generate while skiing. 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.
