Ski Like a Geek with Skido!
"Skido enables you to see and hear your speed, distance, altitude, gradient, pace and calories updated in real-time while you ski. Using Skido allows you to keep a record of your skiing performance providing a fun record of your ski adventures and a log of your skiing improvement. Your Skido data can be analysed on your phone or pda using the built-in lap and graphing functions or uploaded to your personal Skido portal page for more in-depth analysis. The development of Skido is continuing at full speed with loads of more features planned for the future."
Okay, this is cool! I would have loved to have this with me last winter when I was up at the slopes on a skiing trip. Although Skido has just been released, plans for an update have already begun, and if you give the list a read, I'm sure you'll be impressed with what will soon be on offer. More information on the product can be found at the Skido website.

Are they planning a version that will track my performance laying on the couch watching "The Simpsons" reruns?

I don't think we'd need GPS for that one.  :lol:

I love skiing and PPC's but the two do not mix. If you really want to know that data spend the money and get a sunto wrist watch.

I love the idea
I love the idea, and I always take my PPC with me skiing anyways. But $50 for the program?! that's rediculus. (25 pounds)
I would buy the program if it was in the $15 range.

I feel a Darwinian event being caused by this. Does it warn you about rapidly approaching trees?

Only if the trees have RFIDs embedded in them.
