Skiing - downhill, vigorous (racing)

This activity burns approximately 526 calories per hour

Racing, or vigorous downhill skiing, requires many of the same muscle groups as going out for a moderate run. As the terrain becomes steeper, the snow conditions often deteriorate. These conditions both demand higher energy requirements from the skier. Skiing on a steep run (identified by a black diamond) can often exceed the anaerobic requirements of running uphill or on uneven terrain.
