How Many Calories Does Snowboarding Burn?

Snowboarding burns about 186 kcal in 30 minutes at 70 kg (MET ≈ 5.3). Tables by weight/duration, intensity caveats, and how IGNITE AI keeps food honest after the session.

Lift rides are seated rest. Continuous carving and bootpack hiking change the bill completely.

Working MET ≈ 5.3 (recreational boarding; park laps and hike-to runs vary). At 70 kg that is ~186 kcal / 30 min. Scale for bodyweight; long rests lower the real total.

Where IGNITE AI fits

Après-ski destroys cuts. IGNITE AI exists so the fondue night still hits the diary — Snap Track drinks and plates before the lodge Wi‑Fi dies.

Bottom line

Use ~186 kcal / 30 min at 70 kg as a starting point for snowboarding, then trust weekly food averages more than any single board.
