Is there an easy way to have Strava ignore the chairlift portions of a day at a lift-assisted bike park?

Strava at bike park - disregard the chairlift?

Yep. 15 years later, this statement still applies to a lot of stuff.

Only solution was to manually delete the lift rides in .gpx text file. I got elevation gain down from over 8k to ~2700.
Just not going to not even bother recording next time. What a PITA. If somo e got to work before idk how. I even tried zeroing elevation string out in gpx file but Strava does. Kt use that, it must use lat/long coordinates on topo map to calculate? Idk...

This was my 2nd time DH as most of time I am riding trails and tech where up is part of ride so I do like to track elevation gain. With that, I do not want to add 8000ft that I did not ride to my total stats. Yes, it is silly, but this is my first year riding and tracking stats has been neat as I am at ~1800mi MTB and 150k ft elevation for year (minus 4000ft from two DH days). It is not all that important but I like to post rides on strava, just wont be posting next time do DH with lift access. Revived this thread because it had been posted that Slopes App was work around, but I could not make it work and wonder if it was just an idea of a possible work around but never actually worked for anyone.

When I ran a fixed grip lift many years ago, we could actually run it at different speeds depending on wind and other conditions, so it is certainly possible to have different times for the uplift. We also slowed it occasionally when someone was having trouble loading or unloading, as well.

Or glitches, but a lot of park lift lines have segments. Stupid, but they exist. I've tried the start/stop, but then I forget. I'd rather capture the whole ride, then miss parts of it. It would be nice to easily remove them. Same token, its only Strava... not super anal about the stats. Park/shuttle riding is very small percentage of my overall riding.

All the parks I’ve been to had the chairs as a segment. You would think the times would be the same, but usually the KOM is way out there. Just with them running different speeds for weather, slowing down to let some people on or off etc. I feel like the KOM times are from employees running before official open or something.
There is a button on that ride that will let you disregard that accomplishment (whatever they call it). I do that when I go to the park. still shows vert for the ride but doesn't record it as a record.

Here's the leader board for a lift ride that takes 11m36s if they don't stop it during the timed run.
