Intelligent Snowboard Tracking - Auto-Lift & Run Detection (Google Pixel Warch 3)

Status: Reviewed By Moderator Submitted by on ‎03-05-2026 07:51

Implement intelligent tracking for Snowboarding:

1. Auto-detect lift rides using GPS/altimeter to filter them out from total distance/speed.

2. Automatically identify and group data by "Runs" (descents) instead of irrelevant kilometer splits.

3. Show stats per run: Top Speed, Vertical Drop, and Duration.

Align with Apple Watch standards.

Apparently the "this is needed because" part is missing:

Current tracking is just a GPS logger. Lift rides distort all stats (average speed/distance), making data useless. Snowboarding is about individual descents, not continuous kilometers. Competitors like Apple already offer auto-lift filtering and run-based grouping. Without this, the "Snowboard" activity offers no value over a simple timer.
