I have not found a recent thread on this one so starting one for this season. The great thing about skiing (apart from the skiing, obviously!) is that you have already a spent a fortune on accommodation and travel so you don't feel guilty about buying nice kit to go with it. As it is the start of the season, this is about the time most of that kit is purchased.
So, after losing my last "action cam" in a deep, muddy puddle somewhere in Indonesia earlier this year, I am now going for this to capture all my skiing adventures: https://driftinnovation.com/products/drift-stealth2
What do you think?

Too narrow unless you're racing.
I think will be a very enjoyable piste ski and hopefully pretty lively.

Am going to try and hold out this year. Want new piste skis and boots but will difficult to justify this year as doesn't look like I will be getting much skiing done. Head Supershape I.Speed 170cm, 68mm underfoot are definitely the next purchase. Look the bomb to me.

That drift stealth thing looks quite good, might be a bit less sticky-outy than the old go pro. So fed up with the head-mounted gopro getting banged out of position when the chair opens or closes! Then having to fuss around getting it horizontal again. I suppose i could get the chest mount but it looks kind of uncomfy. Really i want a helmet with integrated camera, visor, head up display that shows time and piste map, and also has a phone and a huge battery life and maybe a chin guard for good measure. Sadly nobody seems to make these yet! So I just bought some extremely garish t-shirts instead on the theory that it will feel like i'm going faster when wearing them!

I have far too much kit, too many pairs of skis, 11 or 12 pairs, THREE pairs of ski boots, (all single clip rear entry), two pairs of Sallos. Ridiculous.
The one item would be a pair of gloves, if I can get some Raichle at a reasonable cost. It is the one item of kit that I am heavy on.
