Add Skiing to Exercise app on Ionic

[Overalt]

Please add cross country and downhill skiing to Excercise options. Skiing is one of the most popular winter activities in many countries.

Hi, @Overalt, for any exercises not available as built in shortcuts in "multi-sport mode" you can use the shortcut "workout".  Workout is specifically designed to be renamed to any category you like.  So when you sync to your app, simply edit the workout to "skiing".

If you need help on how to rename a workout, please let us know which operating system/ app you are using

Using the "workout" for skiing is not a good option as it does not enable GPS. Without GPS you will not get speed, distance, etc. metrics.

For now I would recommend using "Bike" training for skiing as it will enable GPS and will have more accurate calorie burning etc.

Still hoping that Fitbit would allow custom sport profiles (with GPS as an option) or adding more sport activities.
