Poster: A snowHead

Has anyone used a Ski-Log? I saw them today at the Ski Show and they look pretty good - are they worth it ?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

If the product is as bad as their website, I'd avoid.
Don't you kinda know where you've been?... and you know you'll only be disappointed by the speed.

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

There used to be a gadget called a Skidometer which you stuck onto the end of your ski and a little wheel hit the snow and told you how many metres you had skied in a day, your fastest clocked up speed, etc. Totally inaccurate IMO but great to tell your group (yes I was a Ski Club rep!) It was short-lived as I don't think superglue had been invented. Nowadays I find my Suunto Vector very accurate on daily vertical, no of lifts etc but I usually know where I am at least before happy hour - joke!

CarlT, buy a Suunto watch if you are into this stats malarky... at least you would also be able to tell the time with it when you get bored of plotting graphs

I picked up a Ski-Log on Wednesday. As I explained to the guy at the time, it was partly academic research/interest that led to my purchase as my degree is in Navigation - so I can use it for skiing and other terrestrial activities, or at sea. It'll be interesting to see how it pans out. Plus, it'll give me a good opportunity to set it up next the the ECDIS on the yacht in a couple of weeks, hooked up to the laptop making me look all James Bond like.

How much do they cost and what do they actualy DO.
Seems like it does what any gps would do for you.
