The Link above shows a new product for Garmin handheld GPS.  It is a software system that will record your whole days worth of skiing and tell you how fast you went, where you skied, and when you skied it.  This new device can change how we ski and how we prepare to ski.
Even before you go out on the slopes, you can download a trailmap and map out your first 3 hours of skiing based on where you skied the day before and what trails you want.  Then after the ski day has ended, you can review what trail you liked and didn't like and decide what trail you can ski the next day. It takes away the spontaneity of skiing and how you don't really know where you going but all you want to do is have fun. This GPS system would be a tether to TURKLE and would only increase the amount of connectivity you have with the world.

These are goggles that have a heads up display that can tell you your speed, temperature and altitude on a heads up display in the visor.  This isnt a tethered device but something thats simply awesome and a product similar to the one above but without being a tethered device.  This is just COOL
