Google Street View Snowmobile




With thanks to Navigadget - About the same time Google introduced showcased how they were taking Street View one ski further, and installing their setup on top of a snow mobile to give you street level imagery from mountain slopes.. They say they were motivated with the Winter Olympics in Canada but we all know Google’s onto something bigger. ( BTW Go Canada GOOOO!!)

GPS Gloves




Ever wondered why the heck your skiing gloves do not include a GPS receiver? I guess people at Zanier Gloves had the same question so they decided to come out with X-Plore.XGX – a pair of gloves that can keep track of your altitude, speed, distance, duration and other route data. What’s really cool is that you can even plan a route and then let the glove route you where ever you want.
