The above link is quite interesting. Could change what you wear on the slope in the future - imagine less bulky jackets and salopettes.
Leash or Tags

I am not too bad at finding my skis but I am a tad lazy and just want to get back on them as quickly as possible.

I do like the DIN setting idea. :lol:

I am planning on doing some serious powder this season but don't want lose my skis so am planning on picking up either a pair of leashes or those tag thingies that you tuck into your boots.

With the leash it looks as though the ski will come off and bounce back to smack you one. On the other hand would the tassle/tags really stay above the powder and show you where the skis are?

So I was wondering what you prefer.

I know!

Why not just buy a set of blades and a board?

I think an important thing is to learn how to fall properly.

Sticking your hands out is a pretty good way of snapping something.

Learning breakfalls as used in Judo, Wrestling, Ju Jitsu etc will certainly help you fall in a way that will minimise chances of injury. Also will gives you more confidence in the event of a fall.
