Best Suunto for tracking ski runs?

[KRFK5]

Hi all,

I'm looking to get a Suunto watch, primarily for tracking number of ski runs, and just wanted to get feedback on which one is best for that. So far I like the Core but can't seem to confirm if it tracks number of runs. The barometer feature is nice too.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated on any Suunto's that have the ski run tracking feature.

Thanks!

Suunto's Altimax is purpose built for just your application: Suunto Altimax | Suunto

Thanks for the info. Do any of the other Suuntos have the ski run tracking ability? I noticed the Altimax doesn't have a compass - not a deal breaker but just wondering.

I spend a lot of time in the mountains and the core is invaluable. I primarily use the altitude function with the sunrise / sunset functions also being useful to plot my day out. The logging function works well however it essentially gives a sessional run down ie. how much vertical in that session etc. To specifically log runs etc I use a GPS (or you just need to keep an eye on every run). A friend has recently purchased goggles that now track runs, vertical etc (in a bit of a heads up display kind of way) and can download the data. Also a nice little app called ski tracks for the iphone also works well. It tracks everything you want and overlays it at the resort you are skiing at.

If you could find an old S-lander then that would also be a good choice. But the Altimax is still the best choice. It has the ability to calculate vertical speed which I don't believe that the Core has. The Core would be my next choice.

This one has served me well for over a decade.....I actually had an Avocet before this one which had better functionality, but I had reliability problems with two samples. The Altimax has never failed me.

Id love to get one of those old avocets. Cool watches.
