Calories Burned Skiing for 2 Hours
A 2-hour skiing session burns approximately 800 to 1,800 calories depending on the skiing style, intensity, and your body weight.
Two hours of active skiing represents a solid morning or afternoon session at a resort, or a substantial cross-country or ski touring outing. This duration provides significant calorie burn and requires appropriate nutrition planning.
