Elan Voyager Folding Skis

If you are a keen skier, you will know for sure that the single most annoying aspect of owning skis is carrying them, and they are even harder to take on a plane. Not to mention those oversize baggage queues. Elan, an innovative Slovenian ski company, has tackled this problem with the introduction of the world´s first folding all-mountain skis! The game-changing Elan Voyager Folding Skis feature an innovative Connect Tech design that allows the skis to fold down to one meter for easy transportation around the slopes or during transit. The binding, which comes integrated as part of the ski, sits on a carbon-reinforced plastic plate that, once unlocked, swings round on a pivot to marry the two halves of the Voyager. watch the video below

PUSH SNOWBOARDING | BY NOKIA AND BURTON

Nokia, in partnership with Burton, developed a monitoring system for snowboarders. The idea is to connect a series of sensors (heart rate, pressure on the board and orientation) to a Arduino processor, which then sends via Bluetooth, the acquired data to a Nokia N8, which records the entire performance (including the phone´s GPS path).  All this through a free application that can be downloaded from the Push Snowboarding web page.
