Watch This

You just finished skiing Far East at Copper Mountain. Now you want your bragging rights. Your Suunto S6 Ski Chronograph records your maximum speed, the degree of slope and the vertical drop. Are you lost? No worries. The Suunto also has a compass. You can even share your statistics online and post them on your favorite ski forum. Priced at $149, it's a relatively affordable gift for your self or for a special skier. Visit www.suunto.com for details.

Music up Your Sleeve

Here's a dilemma. You need a new ski jacket, but you also want a comfortable way to listen to some tunes. Enter the Burton/Motorola Audex Jacket. Priced at $649, this unique ski jacket boasts built-in stereo speakers in the hood, along with a control panel in the sleeve. The speakers play your favorite tunes from a hidden, docked iPod or via a Bluetooth-enabled device. The control panel changes the song track and volume. Need to make a call? The control panel also initiates outgoing calls and identifies incoming ones. Check out direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/ Audex for details.

It's All in Your Head

If you don't need a new ski jacket, but love the Audex technology, consider the Burton RED Tantrum Audex Helmet. It features Bluetooth wireless technology and D.J. style speakers. This helmet is compatible with any iPod, CD or tape player.

Smile for the Camera

You want to take photos or video on the snow, but don't want to drag a heavy camera. Consider the Go Pro Digital Wrist Camera. Appropriately called the Digital Hero, this waterproof, watch-sized camera shoots 3 megapixel photos as well as up to 54 minutes of TV resolution video. Weighing 4.5 ounces and priced at $139, it's easy on both your wrist and wallet.

Now go forth and ski happy!
