The pins (achievements) are ridiculous, it's like a real life video game.

[StevenR]

That des actually seem pretty sick.

 

[Thatdp]

looks ill

 

[LAME.]

lol they should do that out east! Epic Ice day, I just skied 100ft hill!

nuff said

 

[RubberSoul]

i'm sorry but that is retarded. the only cool feature is how it tells you which of your friends are on the mountain

[Doug.]

I dunno. I think its pretty cool that it tells you how many days you get, your vertical feet and what lifts you have taken. But the pins thing is retarded.

 

[RubberSoul]

yeah i mean.. meh. sign me up when i can get something that tells me how fast i go

Sounds interesting, but like most mass-marketed applications it seems like it's aimed at the weekend warrior. The average NSer would rule that thing and get bored quickly.

 

[Ben.]

i could care less about the pins. but having a way to log how much vertical i ski a day would be awesome, as is knowing which friends are on the mountain.

 

[deleted5]

idk me and my friend are going to see who can get the most points this year i kind of like the pin thing

 

[TheDude]

this would be sick at stvens (washington) beause are passe are already RFID or whatever so it should be hat hard to ad em.

Do want

 

[gr4]

it should track how much time you wait in lift lines and i-70 traffic. it would be alot.

 

[zagfan5]

at a place like vail it would be a lot more fun getting pins on shitty snow days, than hiking a rail.

 

[^BEANS^]

when i first saw this i sounded pretty gay. but after watching the video seems quite sick.

 

[skiminnesota]

sure the pins are stupid

but knowing whos on the mtn, how much vert, which lifts i hit, would all be AWESOME

 

[Brenone]

Fast Company magazine rules.

and this is pretty cool.

 

[Bhblaine]

i bet this picks up. sounds pretty damn cool to me

 

[sirskizalot]

That is actually pretty fucking pimp

 

[BMskier]

its like wearing a gps almost.... except it has pins and tells you where peeps are

 

[Line_Skis]

how many times did they say epic?

 

[IanAvery-Leaf]

 

[smuggs]

great idea, more phones on the slopes! now you really do have a reason to be on your phone alllllllllll day!

 

[RubberSoul]

and you can still be on facebook while skiing... thank god

 

[Abc567def]

pretty much this...

 

[iLLbiLLy]

fuck... i was working on a droid application to do this. Mine was geared more in the direction saving marks for your own lines and giving the ability to share your spots if you want.

 

[RubberSoul]

that's way, way cooler

 

[ankhou]

And more useful. Keep going, this epic mix thing is a little.. tacky.

 

[garrettwiz]

you're pretty cool...
