Do you already have information on how the "clinometer" function works in the X6 and S6?
Do I have to lay the watch on the slope?

For skiiers who stick mostly to the ski hills, the Suunto S-Lander altimeter watch offers the abiity to easily keep track of total daily vertical and the number of runs skied. For those who want even more from their watch, there's the Suunto S6. It was especially designed with downhill skiers and snowboarders in mind - the "S" stands for "Snow". The S6 includes an inclinometer, altimeter, barometer, thermometer and compass. This powerful array of functions means that your S6 can help minimize the risks involved in moving around the mountains, while also providing you with knowledge necessary to improve your riding.

The watch has a grove in the bezel and what you do is look thru and match up the groves on the front and back of the bezel while looking at the horizon and lock in the slope.
