It's also pretty cool to be able to calibrate your speedometer, check how
fast you ski, etc. I recorded 85kph on the schuss to get back to the
Aeroski lift at Tignes, and I'm not a fast skier.

Agreed. When our ski guide learnt I was carrying a GPS in 3V last January,
he asked to borrow it for one run and managed to notch up 97.6kph. It was
the tail-end of Jerusalem IIRC. Although fairly pleased with his
performance, he was a bit gutted not to achieve the magic 100kph.
