If you have time to train for 12 weeks and can accommodate a taper week, go with the 12-week training plan. If you buy the plan and don’t like it, just send an email to coach@uphillathlete.com

In terms of training volume/week, the 12-week plan starts at about 5 hours and tops out at 7 hours 40 minutes in the last week.

You can still do backcountry skiing as part of your aerobic workout, just be conscious of the total workout time and progression from one week to the next.

You can develop your own plan based on the book. Do four weeks of Base and then switch to Muscular Endurance for the last eight weeks. Have a recovery week every fourth week and gradually increase the volume.

Wish you the best!

Mariner – you can change the workout type to XC Ski and adjust the vertical. Not ideal, but should work.

Estimating AeT using a heart rate drift test will become harder as you increase your AeT and is within 10% of AnT. A lab metabolic test might help and you can search for this topic on the website if you are interested.

In terms of adding intensity, this article shares the details –

Considering just the skiing time and heart rate, it seems high. You can check the table in the article below and get a good estimate –

You can do a four-week Transition and then split the rest of the time between Base and Muscular Endurance periods.

Have you looked into creating your own dehydrated meals that you can use on the trek?

The plan will not be in your UA account. I would recommend finding your old login, resetting the password and trying to get into your original account and access the Training Plan.

As the AeT improves, one should be able to jog/run and maintain a heart rate below AeT with minimum or no break.
