Do a professional skier like Dave Ryding and the average skier carving down the same slope burn exactly the same number of calories? Rather unlikely! And here we come to the problem of how many calories you actually burn while skiing. Because no one, and therefore no skier, is like everyone else! The following factors can strongly influence how many calories we burn while skiing:
Even if we cannot give you an exact number, we can make a guess. If we assume an average but ambitious skier who skis for 60 minutes on a moderately difficult (red) slope, this skier burns between 400 and 600 calories.
Depending on whether you put more or less pressure on the ski edges and how you use your body weight, the number of calories burnt can of course vary. An interesting detail: The daytime temperature on the day of skiing also influences calorie consumption. Therefore, you burn more calories on cold winter days than on a warm spring skiing day.

Funmountain Obergurgl
The so-called Funmountain Obergurgl combines four different fun facilities for all the family: a fun slope, a fun-cross course, a snow park and a family park. It takes you downhill speedily across steep curves, waves and jumps. Quite similar to the calories you burn, because the obstacles require speed, stamina and endurance.

First Line
On the First Line adventure you can literally kiss the ski area awake and hit some selected slopes exclusively with a few like-minded people before the ski area starts operating. So much space on the slopes allows you to enjoy sporty, really huge carving turns in the snow. And it is well known that you burn significantly more calories than doing an easy stem turn. By the way: The gourmet breakfast that follows at Hohe Mut Alm will probably add a few more calories.

Steep and bumpy downhill
As mentioned at the beginning, calorie consumption when skiing also depends on the terrain in which you are skiing. The difficult downhill run from Hohe Mut Alm to Gaisberg, including a mogul slope, is fairly challenging. There is also a steep downhill on skis with plenty of calorie consumption in Hochgurgl, from Top Mountain Star straight down to Wurmkogl’s middle station.
