A sports camera we have been waiting for...well, you can keep the 4K, but 720p at high frame rate sounds great!  http://www.gopro.com

If you haven't heard of Signal snowboard's 'Every Third Thursday', you should check them out on Youtube....here is a cool concept board - a split snowboard with a difference:
Every Third Thursday-by-Signal Snowboards-Survival Split Board

Designed in Oberndorf, Austria, this is the snow bicycle that set the Guinness World Record for the longest vertical drop of 107,400' in 11 hours.

OK, this is not exactly ski gear, but who doesn't like watching movies when on holiday?  The infamous 'Duvet days', or, "I can't be bothered to go out in the friggin' cold".  We all know TV's in chalets generally suck, if they exist at all.  So, here is a travel projector that does hi-def goodness:

Stewart Pedler take note!  Combine this with Salty's subwoofer system, and we are sorted!

I know you guys have Kindles and e-readers, but this is the way forward.  e-ink on your snowboard!  Like those cool Omega watches, it is powered by movement within the board.  So the more you wipe out, the better charged it will be!

OK, more for the music lovers.  Another Burton music product - do you see a theme here?  


So - remote iPod/iPhone gloves.  Yes, my friends, *remote control* for your tunes within 100 ft radius!

I know a certain DJ will be interested in these - cans you can use normally and then plug into your helmet?  Bring it on! :-)
