The Transcend GPS Goggle: If Google Made Goggles

It's about time the goggle stepped into the new millennium. For too long now, ski and snowboard goggles have been content with such mundanities as keeping the blinding glare of the snow from our delicate eyes, protecting our cheekbones from windburn, and preserving our neatly coiffed eyebrows. But now, at long last, the goggle has found it's true calling, with the introduction of GPS functionality, real-time statistics, and state-of-the-art sensors. The new high-tech Transcend Goggles are like an iPhone for your eyes. Without the phone. (An eyePod Touch? Google Goggles, perhaps?) Frankly, we're not really sure what to make of these beauties! Is this overkill for a so humble a piece of head-ware, or the future of snow sports; a must-have cranial accessory? What do you think?

Featured Film: Warren Miller's Dynasty

For decades, Warren Miller has taken us on one wild, adrenaline-infused, yet majestic ride. Sweeping camera shots of extreme skiers launching into a cliff-hanging, cavernous white abyss. Miller takes his audience on a journey, providing heart-pounding adventure and stunning vistas, that are at times, only reachable by helicopter. Miller's latest release, Dynasty, captures his own journey, in celebration of 60 years of Warren Miller films. Narrated by Jonny Moseley and presented in high definition, Dynasty showcases a blend of fresh cinematography and vintage clips from the past six decades of Warren Miller footage. If you haven't purchased your season lift tickets yet, Dynasty will pretty much seal the deal. Check here for a screening near you. Photo courtesy of Warren Miller Entertainment.
