I just purchased a Charge 5.
Is there a way to add Cross County Skiing to the list of activities/sports?  Winter is coming. 
I looked through other help forums and see many others for the past 5years have requested it be added. Yet I don’t see any satisfactory solutions. Come on FitBit, now is the time.

Hi @Mustrideorski. This video can help you figure out how to add different workout modes to your Charge 5. However, I don't believe skiing is an option. The best I can suggest would maybe be Outdoor Workout. 

 

The new Versa 4 does have a skiing option, but it's not available on the Charge 5.

@Mustrideorski   If Cross Country Skiing is you major winter sport, you might want to return your Charge 5 for a Versa 4 (or Sense 2, if you want the extra hardware).  @Heather-S is right.  Fitbit added it, but not to the Charge 5.  But Outdoor Workout isn't the best alternative.  Outdoor Workout is for non-step based activities like kayaking.  It doesn't add your distance to your daily distance.  I usually recommend Hike.
