For the geeky skier who can effortlessly ski like a pro, Recon Instruments, is in the midst of designing ski/snowboard goggles which will feature a 15mm diagonal micro display inside of the lens to provide you with all that you want to know about your performance including, real-time speed, jump hang-time, vertical gain/loss, altitude, temperature, and will even include a stopwatch and GPS capability to guide you on the slopes. And if that is not enough, the Recon guys are even trying to enable the goggle’s lens to show you your friend’s location on the slopes. Resort trail maps projected on the inside of your goggles for easy navigation are on the cards too. The Alpine goggles are slated for release in fall of 2010, and will be available in two styles with the difference between the two being in the quality of the lens and resolution of the picture. The goggles will weigh 120 grams, and will be priced between $350 and $450.
