Calories Burned Downhill Skiing

The Calories Burned Downhill Skiing calculator computes the calories burned downhill skiing based on the weight of person and the duration of time skiing.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (W) Weight of Person
• (T) Time Spent Downhill Skiing

Calories Burned Skiing (kCal): The calculator returns the approximate calories (kcal) burned during skiing. 

The Math / Science

According to a report from Valdosta University, the following calories per hour are associated with downhill and cross-country skiing. These are approximate numbers based on the person's weight, and there are numerous other factors that can change the total calories burned. 

Skiing is a great activity.  Not only is it a trill, as close to truly flying that human will ever achieve, it's also great exercise, and one of a few out-door activities one can do in the winter and have fun and burn a lot of calories.

Calories Burned Calculators

• Calories Burned in Aerobics: Estimates the calories based on the type of aerobic exercise activity, weight of person and the duration of time in exercise.
• Calories Burned Canoeing: Estimates the calories burned paddling a canoe based on the effort level, weight of person and the duration of time paddling.
• Calories Burned Cross-country Skiing: Estimates the calories burned cross-country skiing based on the effort level of skiing, weight of person and the duration of time cross-country skiing.
• Calories Burned Cycling a Distance: Estimates the calories based on the distance travelled cycling, weight of person and the duration of time to travel distance cycling. It also returns the average speed.
• Calories Burned Cycling at Speed: Estimates the calories based on the approximate speed, weight of person and the duration of time cycling.
• Calories Burned Downhill Skiing: Estimates the calories burned downhill skiing based on the weight of person and the duration of time skiing.
• Calories Burned Golfing: Estimates the calories burned golfing based on the effort level (carrying clubs, club cart, electric cart), weight of person and the duration of time golfing.
• Calories Burned Hiking: Estimates the calories burned hiking based on the weight of person and the duration of time hiking.
• Calories Burned Horseback Riding: Estimates the calories burned horseback riding based on the activity level, weight of person and the duration of time horseback riding.
• Calories Burned Jumping Rope: Estimates the calories burned doing jump-rope exercise based on the effort level, weight of person and the duration of time jumping rope.
• Calories Burned Kayaking: Estimates the calories burned kayaking based on the weight of person and the duration of time kayaking.
• Calories Burned Mowing Grass: Estimates the calories burned cutting grass based on the method used (walking or riding mower), weight of person and the duration of time mowing grass.
• Calories Burned Running a Distance: Estimates the calories burned running based on the distance run, weight of person and the duration of time to run the distance.  It also returns the average speed.
• Resting Metabolic Rate for Men: Estimates a man's resting metabolic rate in calories per day (kcal/day) given his weight, height, and age.
• Resting Metabolic Rate for Women:  Estimates a woman's resting metabolic rate in food calories per day (kcal/day) given her weight, height, and age.
