Hey All,

Do you ski with a cell phone or an I-pod? I like skiing with an I-pod and I have it blasting pretty loud because when you're skiing 40mph+ it's necassary. I keep my cell phone in my call when I ski because I don't want to be distracted..but when i go hiking I bring it along...

Ipod on solo days. I like it more for the lonely lift rides than for cruising trails. Cell phone is always on me. If I'm away from wifey I need to be accessible (not complaining)

Cell, yes. iPod, no. Don't make many calls, but it's a good way to get in touch with other AZers and as a way for my wife to contact me if need be.

just got an i-pod for christmas, have helmets with built in earphones...not sure how I'm feeling about skiing with tunes yet...somedays I really enjoy it, other days I feel like I'm missing the sound of the wind in my ears, skis on the snow, etc. I like the background music on the lift though...not so loud than you can't hear budies on the lift, but good vibes going. Cell phone...always with me now that I'm a dad...before fatherhood it stayed in the car.

Ipod playing through my helmet speakers. So much better than headphones. No ipod on crowded weekend trails and never at new mountains.

Cell phone can stay in the car always.

I also have a helmet with speakers built into that hooks up to my MP3 player and a 2-way radio. The cell stays in the jeep, I never have signal on my home mountain anyway.

Cellphone, just in case I need to call for assistance or they can use the GPS to find the body...
