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

Cell phone, wallet, sometimes camera, often water/gatorade, chapstick, extra clothing (gloves, face masks, etc.) That's usually about it.

Has talking on the cell phone while skiing been outlawed yet

Cell phone just in case I want to take a crappy picture on the slopes also good for emergencies. I have skied w/ a guy who did the i-pod thing and I can recall more than a few one-way conversations on the lift.

Real annoying when planning our attack for the next run.

don't own an ipod or mobile tunes, leave the cell phone in the car

Cell phone usually in car, iPod only on solo days and never too loud as to not hear anything around me.

mp3 is always with me (i would never ski with one on a weekend). i don't own a cell.

Both. The cell never gets used, but is there in case i need help. The tunes are nice, and i can still hear.

My phone is my MP3 player so that comes with me when I am solo on the slopes but i rarely answer / place a call.

I just bought a helmet just for the speakers to plug my mp3 player into. I'll only use it when I'm skiing by myself though.

I turn my cell off. The only time I use it is to take a pic.

ride with an ipod but only put in one earbud, that way I can have tunes blasting but still have one ear to hear the sounds of the mountain, etc. After getting on the lift I put in the other earbud for the lift ride up.
