スキー競技ではポイント制を採用しており、等評価になるようにそれぞれの大会で計算をしています。スキー競技は、それぞれの大会で使用するコースプロフィールが同じではないのと、雪質やコースセットに大きくタイムが影響されます。 同じコースで行われるレースであっても、毎回タイムが大きく変わるため、タイムをそのままコースレコードと決めることは出来ません。このため成績を数値化し、選手を評価します。

The clearest difference is update cadence: Alpine Points at every 5 days against Garmin Dive™'s every 6 weeks. Alpine Points also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
