Wondering if anyone had any good recommendations for something that straps your mobile to your ski jacket? Now that paper maps seem to be things of the past, id like to be able to check the mobile piste map on a chair lift without risking losing it! Far too high risk.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

99% of phone cases have 2 loop holes in them for a tether. Most ski jackets/trousers have a chord for this.
Not very helpful, but check if your clothes have the chord.

My case doesn’t have a loop hole but I found some tether tabs on Amazon that you insert through the USB charging port (very thin so doesn’t interfere with charging) which give me an eye on the outside of the case to attach to. Then I just use a lanyard to connect this to my jacket.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I keep mine in my inner breast pocket which has a zip. Keeps it warm as the cold kills the battery. I could probably secure it somehow with a lanyard if I felt the need.

As a matter of interest, where are you going that has stopped paper Piste Maps?

 not any of ours!! Although I think I vaguely recall one years ago having such a thing? G major I think.
Madame's case has a loop hole. I think her cord came with it?
She has Raynaud's so can't take her gloves off.

We’re in La Plagne this week. You probably can get a paper map if you find an info office in the centre, but there are none in the hire shops or lift pass offices I’ve been into. I don’t mind necessarily (although I’ve got quite a nice collection and it’s a shame not to add to it!), but I just don’t want to lose my phone

@chaletgirl002, That is more than reasonable.....I wonder how many phones they find when the snow melts
My phone always stays safely tucked away on Chairlifts....I only use it to contact members of my skiing group when on the mountain.

Fix a loop to your phone case and attach it to your belt loop with a length of para cord.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Thanks, that looks good. Haven’t got a case with a loop hole, so sounds like I’m going to have to get a new case as well!

Thanks all - now I know what to search for (a tether) I can see there are a gazillion of them!

You know it makes sense.

Get a PDF of ski map & get one printed on vinyl. Dont cost much & dont turn to mush.

I quite often get my phone out on a chairlift, not so much to look at the piste map, but the live version showing lifts and piste openings, essential at this time of year, this season at least. And I often need to reply to emails/whatsapps, which I can see but not respond to on my smart watch.
So I've long had a tough phone with lanyard loops which doesn't need a case at all. Just replaced my old Oukitel WP6 which was only on Android 9 and therefore starting to be incompatible with new versions of apps, with a WP55 on Android 15.
Anyway, I just make sure that I put the strap round my wrist before removing from pocket. There is a clip in one jacket pocket, but it's not the inside one I always use for my phone, so not a lot of use.
