Looking to do a charity ski. How many miles does a resonable intermediate ski in a day please?

Yes it was miles. I am sure there are some apps out there that will measure only ski miles but mine is a triathlon watch so doesnt have that ability.

I did the scope ski marathon a few years back. 130km in 2 days. From intermediates upwards. Everyone completed it except 2 with knee ligament issues. Its fantastic and would recommend it to everyone. I think we raised about £60k for children with cerebral palsy.

Amazing Adam..well done you! The Charity is alreday in place and we have alredy committed to going to the 3 Valleys but ceratinly has given us an idea of what could be done. The 130kms included lifts or just distance you actually skied?

If you divide MogulMonkey's miles by 2 you'll probably be about right. 20 miles per day average. Depends on the speed of the lifts in proportion to the runs. Pick one long run with a fast lift and you can increase your ratio. The Cucumelle in Serre Chevalier is 3.8 km long and with the new chairlift you could do 3 runs an hour over 7 hours = 80 km a day = 50 miles a day.
