The folks at POC in Stockholm Sweden are taking a new approach to skiing and snowboarding. So if you are close to approaching the 154 mph world record for skiing, you should probably grab some ski armor. This suit not only has panels to protect you from cuts and scrapes, but it has a spine protector with interlocking plates and fitting foam. You could take a ski, rock, or ice block to your back and you’d walk away (barring any other missing limbs). So go fast. $340 BUY

The HYmini power plant will charge your cell phone, PDA or digital camera using only the greenest energy sources; wind and solar. The most innovative use of the wind charger is attaching to your body or backpack on the slopes to keep your MP3 player going all day. The wind generator only needs 9 mph winds to charge, and the solar charger of course can charge even in cloudy weather. Hand crank charger included as well – just in case the weather isn’t cooperating. $75 BUY
