My gps claimed that I was doing 75 at points during my last trip so I might have to watch myself on my next trip which is to Italy, but in my defence it was never on anywhere crowded though.

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

My GPS had me at 199mph at one point last week, I think it wasn't quite telling the truth.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I've been clocked at over 90 kph on a world cup (albeit ladies'  ) course.
I presume the speed cams are on greens/blues fed by steeper runs or at bottlenecks or some other hazardous location.

Mine was saying the same thing once I downloaded the tracks to the PC and that then recalculated the speed between some incorrect points. The GPS itself seemed capable of ignoring the single duff points that suddenly had me traveling half way round the mountain in less than a second though.

What I'd like to know is how they expect you to know how fast you're going

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

dovver, Good point. I suppose we will all have to buy one of those naff wristwatch computer things from GeeksRus. Or avoid skiing at the resorts in question.
I do not even have a dive computer, so I will resist buying a computer for skiing to the bitter end.

ahh the beginning of the end.. more crowds, more regulation.. soon you wil have to wear a giant bar code on your back or something..
im not saying these things arn't nesessary, just thats its a shame.. sking will be like driving soon.. with everyone harking back to the hayclon days of empty roads and cars that you could fix yourself..
im glad my kids are getting older and i will be able to forego the holiday crush to extend the romance a few more years off peak..

Whitegold, hmmm, if it's anything like Italian speed limits, the cops will all be getting p*ssed in the essential piste side AutoGrills and then the government will up the speed limits and mandate a minimum speed on wider runs (as it helps folks concentrate).
As usual in Italy, if they
* learned to ski,
* learned basic piste discipline (you know how they like to keep the white line between the autostrada lanes centred in the middle of the Alfa badge?)
* didn't assume that everyone else skiing (driving) faster than them was
- 1. an idiot
- 2. about to sh*g their sister and
- 3. was grossly insulting their manhood,
[b[]then[/b] they wouldn't need to spend money on stupid ideas.
I'm not biased, I'll be in Italy at the weekend, just making observations.
