Rank yourself with UAR

Our Universal Alpine Ranking (UAR) is a way to objectively rank every skier, from first timer to World Cup Racer.

SKEO app captures data and runs it through the algorithm to quantify your ski patterns and give you a ranking from 1 to 100.

Universal Alpine Ranking system developed by Bode Miller and powered by SKEO sensors

Our proprietary Universal Alpine Ranking (UAR) tracks your progress and scores you against core skills. The ranking is made of an objective algorithm that measures:

Speed

Determine how fast of a skier you really are and how it factors into your overall score.

- Max Speed
- Average Speed
- Maximum G-force resistance

Stamina

Build endurance overtime so you can ski hard all day.

- Total and session distance skied
- Vertical drop quests

Difficulty

Push yourself on harder terrain to elevate your score - verticals, bumps and skiing off-piste all add up.

- Slope incline
- Vertical drop

Edge Angles

Employ up to three alternating features with an option to use an image or video and include a call to action button.

- Angles symmetry
- Turn initialization

Body Position

Take control of your body position, correcting bad habits and preventing injury.

- Upper body tilt
- Lateral balance
- Hip angulation
