Stop being so grumpy Bandit, and leave those poor spammers alone :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I'm gonna have a look around at the ski show next month, it's my birthday in a couple of months, I'll drop a Wickers subtle hint to Mrs W when I've completed some home work 8)

Use a piste map, Wickers.

It is free.
It is holistic
Biodegradable
Allied local info included
If you used a gadget, and bandit used piste map, well, let's just say that you might be late for lunch. 8) 8)

You and Bandit are just old before you time, have you seen the information they can give and the loverly graphs of your days enjoyment... I'm up for one :wink:

I always carry a piste map but it is a pain in the A*se when you have got to put your specs on to read it... :evil:

I'd like something that told me my mileage, a bit like the website but one that actually works for the lift passes I use! Not sure I'd really want a GPS device as I use a map to navigate around the pistes.
There was a guy at the ski show last year selling some device which I forget now, but it seemed pretty revoloutionary and reasonably priced too at £99 I think. I bet he is there again this year.

I have an iphone with an App' that will give me highest speed and average speed and a piste map but the one I am looking for is the one which you can download to your computer and track your milage link into your camera for photos the price seems about right, I'll have a look around on the 22nd. On a different subject I saw a pair of sunglasses with a built in video camera,not too sure about the quality aspect all for the grand price of £180. 8)
