Which of this year’s most high-tech and innovative gear for skis and snowboarders tempts you the most?

Liquid Image’s Apex HD+WiFi snow goggle
A lot of skiers and snowboarders sport cameras sticking out of their helmets, but this camera is tucked into your goggles, just above your eyes. The Apex HD+WiFi is a POV, HD video snow goggle, with a camera lens that can be tilted up to 30 degrees. You can even live-stream to your smartphone or tablet. A Liquid Image app, which can act as a remote control to activate the camera, lets you stream live views and view your photos and videos. Use the app’s trim tool to select a small portion of a video, download it to your phone, then upload it to a social network.

Montbell Plasma 1000 down jacket
It’s so light that it was displayed at trade shows on a hanger held up by a balloon. The Montbell Plasma 1000 jacket is made of fine, 1,000-fill goose down and gossamer seven-denier nylon. It has a trim cut, so it fits easily under outer garments. It comes in a sack that compresses to 3.9 by 5.5 inches, so just slip it in a backpack in case you need an additional layer if it gets colder when you’re skiing. The jacket won a best of show award from the Gear Institute. Men’s sizes only, although some women can wear the smaller sizes.

Blizzard Brahma skis
Ski magazine testers list the Blizzard Brahma skis as Gold Medal Gear after testing them extensively last spring. The all-mountain Brahma is the least expensive in Blizzard’s Free Mountain series and the narrowest. The testers said, in part: “Sure, it’s cheaper — but also quicker, more intuitive.” They have flipped-wood cores and sheets of metal for stability.

Ski Tracks app for iPad, iPhone and Android phones
Every time we use this app to check the vertical feet and the speed we’ve skied someone stops to ask us where to get it. Ski Tracks uses your phone’s GPS to monitor your ski day. It tracks how far you’ve skied (and how far you’ve gone on lifts), your fastest speed, the distance, the number of runs, your vertical for the day and a lot more. You can share your day on Facebook or via email.
List price: 99 cents
