Wireless Ski Retrieval System (like a GPS for lost skis)

An interesting concept.

If you're a powder skier, you know there is nothing quite like floating down the mountain after a fresh dump. Except for when you crash. Digging for your gear sucks!Maximize your powder time with the AKKA Ski Retriever, a deep powder ski finder that utilizes wireless technology to find your skis or any other gear you want to find.

Ah! I almost forgot about it.

My guess is this probably applies more to open terrain / bowl type skiing than our typical NE slope, but probably still useful for those who do a lot of backcountry.
