German term (edited):
H�henmeter machen/zur�cklassen
how far you have climbed and coasted downhill
That's how I read this; although I've never been on skis, I know the skier likes to know what is the total height climbed, and when you're going uphill and then downhill all day, that becomes rather tricky to work out...
