Do you ski with a cell phone/I-pod??

Cell phone, in case I get creamed by some iPodhead who isn't paying any attention and need to call for help.

Cell phone, in case the wife needs to get in touch with me. Or to call her at work and tell her how good the conditions are, though for some reason it doesn't seem that she likes those calls.

funny... I've never crashed into anyone while blasting tunes... I visually aware and faster then most... PLUS I'm pretty dyslexic - so call out "on your right" and I turn right into ya... Also ski with a girl thats deaf... She doesnt hit anyone either...

I keep my phone with me, but keep it off while I'm on the slopes, as for music, I'll occasionally bring a little mp3 player with me, but usually I just like the silence.

just a phone, just in case

IPOD stays in the car....the sounds of the mountains is music within itself...

Cell phone only on days when I am planning to meet someone. I don't own an Ipod.

it's the slower folks who can't hear "on your right/left" since they have an ipod blasting that are more of an issue.

I've never skied with tunes, would rather hear what's going on around me. might be nice for lift rides tho.

Cell phone for emergencies, and yes, I've used it to get patrol for a bad crash.
Shuffle, but not turned up very loud. I can hear people behind me.
