These are more common than you think. Two of my mates are rocking these: http://www.reconinstruments.com/products/snow-heads-up-display , and I don’t have many mates!

WANT!!

Interesting product very James Bond.

Has some great features with the Navigation and Buddy Tracking. I still would be a bit scared to use this free riding as all the extra features would distract me. I think it could take you away from free riding experience also with all the gadgets you can already get soon you will be an accessorie coming down the mountain.

I would invest the money towards an air bag. Different strokes for different folks. It’s very cool.

i assume you are referring to the weekend warrior and not the park rats who are doing loops around the park

admit im in the weekend warrior category
actually i wasnt going to get one but the wife got it for bday present so might as well use it LOL

i mainly use it to record the wife’s progression and some footage of mates on the snows…its nothing too exciting (for people other than ourselves) and probably never going to be uploaded anywhere but its memories nevertheless

i think the fact that you can bounce it around and stuff has just made it more accessible to the general public…..yeah it does take away from the “freedom” of riding aspect but end of the day…each to their own
enjoy the snow the way you want to and care less about others…until some F&&ker; wacks you with their stocks in the lift lines and you give them death stare but that’s another thread discussion…there are plenty already LOL

I hate gadgets, snow gear shouldn’t have pockets.
PoleCams - don’t get me started on what a waste of time they are!
The amount of people I see riding with their phones out…
