Statistics Recording for Fun

Starting in 2014 I downloaded an app called Trace and started to use it to track our days on the ski hill. The app uses the GPS in your smartphone (or a dedicated FOB) to track basic stats about the day: runs, lifts, totals etc. You can view the stats by the numbers or as an overlay on a google map, by summary as well as broken down by run number.

The smartphone mode is not the most accurate, for instance it seems to think I do a lot of jumps, (I can assure you, I do not) but it does give a general idea of distances, total vertical, number of runs.

Ski CDs through the ages

Every year since moving to Vancouver in 2000 I have burnt a mixed CD in honor of the ski trip. This started out as stupid music that caught my ear, but has since morphed into a mix of modern and vintage music mixed with various pop culture sound bites, heavily influenced by my own viewing habits - The Simpsons, South Park and others.

Ski-2001

I did not keep a track list of this one, but I still have the .wav files so I can create it from first principles on demand. This one is all music.
