Ski distances on holiday

Are there any devices in the market which can be used when skiing that will give you accurate figures for how many km/m have been skied.
Although the website mentioned on the forum a while back gives approx distances depending on which lifts you use, it would be good if there was some sort of pedometer for skiing.

Any techies out there care to invent one?

C'mon, it's the 21st century. Of course they exist :D lol - Infact, my friend has one! Not only does it record how far you've ski'd, but the speed too (his max is 55 MPH so far :P)

That does look pretty good, possibly a bit over the top with the million different recordings, and also very expensive. Good bit of kit though.

try this as you can afford to drink on Eccy road

Oh Eccy Road (dreams), its only a pipe dream until I have finished this dissertation; I have only left the house 3 times this week (twice for a sandwich and once to Tesco)!

I don't think I could afford the handheld devices but the downloadable mobile phone software is pretty tempting.

The trouble is they're not very accurate, the GPS receivers in them are terrible.

If it tells you've been doing 55 mph I'd throw it away :D That's not likely, to give you idea of speeds, last week was the FIS Lauberhorn race which is pretty quick, the course record is held by the Kristian Ghedina in 1997 with an average speed of 66 mph (106.33 km/h). Defago won this year with his highest gun speeds around 105 kph or 62 mph.

If you're friend is Didier Defago though then 55mph is probably correct :D

Whats your top speed, Ise?

the top speed is about 140km is it not ise?
