Average Ski IQ vs Max Ski IQ

Feature RequestsSki:IQ

I want to know what my AVERAGE Ski IQ is for the day, week, month, and season. This would be a better indication of whether I am improving, rather than having a single max Ski IQ score that I would only be able to surpass under ideal conditions.

If possible to sort/filter AVERAGE Ski IQ based on turn type (ie pure carved vs steered short radius), terrain, and snow condition, that would make this feature even more valuable.

    Average calculation as additional calculation, ok. On each skiing day I never ski exclusively on my personal level: teaching/instruction, cruising with my wife and friends at lower level. If average would be used as default calculation, I would see my score dropped drastically. And I want te keep carv tracking the whole day, not having to put on and of before or after teaching

    I think this should be added, with some kind of 'low scoring run rejection' - ie give you the average score of the runs where you were actually trying. Perhaps average of your top 25% of runs that day or something?

    I would argue also for the 90th and 95th percentiles, basing everything on the max I think is somewhat wrong, especially for leaderboards. Given each Ski IQ is already an average of 8 turns, the 95th percentile would truly represent consistent ski level

    I have a spreadsheet and log my segment I queues and calculate average and modes per days skiing

      I’m just putting one together - would be great to be able to download run data.

    I primarily ski on weekends at a small, incredibly crowded resort. The trails are narrow with lots of flats and there are literally no long wide cruiser trails. Once the masses arrive, more effort is spent avoiding other people than making quality turns. While this could be a useful option for people, it would not give a fair assessment of my skiing (or other skiers in the same boots as me)......I have to be very selective, patient, and careful of when/where I can "let-a-rip" and I can only link together a handful of turns at a time. The current method of scoring ski IQ works well.

    Frankly, I don't like this idea of average or median. Max Ski:IQ prompts me to try really really hard. Sometimes in the afternoons I shred instead of skidding down the slope as I'm trying to improve myself. If we give option for average/median there is no incentive for above grinding. One run even best in the world won't matter that much if I ski several weeks. It will also cause one more thing - some folks will turn on Carv only for a couple runs and your "average" leaderboard will be filled by great skiers who had only one run. I could very easily exploit it by gifting myself a buddy pass, setting up a new account and doing a couple of outstanding runs.

    Max IQ has to be the only score for the leaderboard (ideally with the sliding window approach, if it makes sense). Average IQ is good info for a day, but not necessarily something I would care about on the leaderboard.

    I think average is great. Ideally we would have a way to sup get an average for a specific time period. An hour, day or week. I like the leader board for max SKI:IQ but personally I would find an average IQ useful to monitor personal progression. Also having it able to filter by terrain or trail difficulty would be ideal.

    I think this is a fantastic idea and one I have mentioned before. For all the reasons mentioned above. The average IQ for the day is actually how you skied over all runs identifying how you handled terrain, obstacles, conditions that day. Does the average have to be on the leaderboard … no Does this give an indication of your ‘actual’ skiing ability … YES RECOMMENDATION: Add ability to filter carve IQ and parallel IQ. The app is very carving centric but on those busy days avoiding people I want to see parallel MAX SKI:IQ

    hey guys, damian from Carv here, thanks for the suggestion on this one, we have some work planned to make it much easier to view your progress over time, including your average scores and best scores, allowing you to segment them by turn type (short turn, carving turn etc.) and more
