Got some extra money to spend on the slopes? In love with everything gadgety? Well, here’s a device you may want to rent this season (if it’s available on your mountain):
SlopeTracker
“This amazing new product uses GPS technology to give skiers (and snowboarders) the ability to improve and excel. For the first time, ski resort guests can now track their resort experience. Statistics depicted include number of runs, vertical feet, speed, calories burned, distance traveled, time skied, and terrain difficulty.”
The SlopeTracker gadget is an armband that you simply strap on before starting your day. You can prove to your friends and family that you really did make 10 runs down that double-black diamond before lunch (and you can check up on them and see if they were rocking the half-pipe or lounging at the sandwich stand…). Even though you just rent the device and turn it in at the end of the day, you won’t go home empty-handed. You get a snazzy, full-color poster that shows where you went and also lists a bunch of stats, such as top speed, number of runs, vertical footage, and calories burned.
