Importing from Garmin Connect
If you record your days skiing and snowboarding with a Garmin watch then you can enable Slopes's integration with Garmin to get that data added to your Logbook. Once set up, not only will future recordings automatically sync to Slopes, but after completing the one-time authorization in your Slopes account, we've made sure the last 5 years of your Garmin snow history will be imported (ignoring any duplicates of data already in Slopes). Note that if you don't already have one, you will need to set up a Slopes account for the integration to work.
Here's how to enable the Slopes x Garmin integration:
- Go to the Account tab
- Tap on Online Integrations under the Settings section
- Tap on Import from Garmin → Connect
- You'll then be taken to a web page to sign into your Garmin account
Importing from Ski Tracks
Files exported from Ski Tracks in the .skiz format can be imported to Slopes.
Importing from Snoww
Snoww lets you export to GPX, which Slopes can import.
Importing from Strava
This help article from Strava explains in detail how to export your data.
Importing from Trace / Alpine Replay
Trace can export GPX via their web interface. Head to http://snow.traceup.com/settings/gpx, log in, and then you can pick which days to export.
We have been made aware that Trace's website is no longer accessible.
GPX Import Requirements
The file needs to have the following data:
- Latitude
- Longitude
- Altitude
- Time
Data accuracy is improved if the file also contains vdop and hdop (vertical and horizontal accuracy) data. Without this, you may see inaccuracies such as unrealistically high speeds.
