We can't say that there's a huge cross-section of the market that both owns a Lumia phone and likes snowboarding enough to want an app dedicated to the sport, but Nokia will at least have that audience sewn up through an exclusive team-up with Burton. Their newly publicized Windows Phone 8-only release lets hill carvers prepare for every stage of their trip, from shopping for gear and getting the local slope forecast through to that all-important motivational music playlist. Those who can't brave the descent can still create a sequenced photo from video taken at the sidelines, or stream Burton's Open Events from the safety of home. Anyone as likely to do a frontside 180 as carry a Lumia 620 can hit the source link or video below to get a peek -- preferably before the grass peeks out from the hillside.

Snowboarding and rock n’ roll, it’s perfect match. Signal Snowboards teamed up with Fender to build this amazing snowboard for Duff McKagan (from a little band you might have heard of called Guns n’ Roses- also Velvet Revolver and Loaded). It has a totally playable Fender bass guitar built right into the top AND you can still ride this thing down the slopes.
Shred the mountain, then shred a few tunes. Check out the video to see it being made and used:
Sickness. Notice at the end, they are actually playing and riding at the same time.
Playable Fender Bass Snowboard for Duff McKagan
I used to always listen to music while I was riding my motorcycle, but after a couple of close calls, I decided to switch the beats off. That being said, when you’re shredding powder, there aren’t as many obstacles that can kill you. If you prefer to listen to music while you’re snowboarding, then check out this helmet.
The POC Receptor BUG helmet has built-in headphones from by Beats by Dre, so you’ll be able to listen to your favorite tunes while you’re skiing or snowboarding. The neck roll even has a mic and a remote, so that you can take calls and change tracks on the slopes, though you’ll want to use caution if you do that.
POC Receptor BUG helmets will be available in either black or white and they will retail for 2200 SEK (~$338 USD). If you’ve already got a helmet by POC, you can just purchase the neckroll for about $180.

Designer Navik Lal presents a fabulous new look at the protection of the wrists of the hardcore snowboarder. This is Morph Armour, made to create a protective barrier around your wrist while you retain near-full mobility throughout your arms so you can continue to be the sports beast you know you can be. This solution takes on what Lal notes is one of the most common mishaps in the snowboarding world, making the 88% of the snowboarding population think twice about how much of a hinderance safety has to be.
Morph Armour is a wrist protection device – or pair of devices, if you’re wearing them on both arms, of course. With this armor you’ve got 2 splints with multiple segments joined by what Lal calls “living hinges.” This moving polyethylene splint is moulded to the contours of your arm for a personalized fit, with an 8 degree angle on the hinge point of 6 individual sections for an overall wrist movement range of a lovely 96 degrees.
Each of the units is affixed to your arm with an 8 point lace system so it’s not going to slip off while you’re burning up the slopes, and a removable neoprene insert works to give you extended comfort through cushioning. This unit is still currently in its conceptual phases but very well may be a real live product sooner than later!

I have to admit that I didn’t think that heads-up display goggles would be initially be marketed to snowboarders, but I now look forward to having a HUD in my everyday eyewear, or on my motorcycle helmet.
The snow-sport focused Oakley Airwave Goggles have a little prism at the bottom right of your peripheral vision that displays useful information. You can see GPS/navigation routes, buddy tracking to find your friends with goggles, or friends who don’t have them but are running the app, as well as music controls, speed and jump analytics, and more.
You can even pair them to your smartphone and view incoming calls and texts. All of these features are controlled via a wrist remote, and the companion app will work on Android or iOS.
The HUD is perceived as a 14-inch screen that is five feet away, so refocusing of the eye isn’t necessary. The goggles have built-in GPS and accelerometers, so your data can be stored in them when your phone runs out of juice. The goggles are being launched today, and will sell for $599 (USD) at the Oakley Store.

The Flow Caiman snowboard binding may be a more minimal approach than other designs on the market, but don’t be fooled, it packs greater functionality into a light design that aims to keep riders from constantly making pit stops to make adjustments. Every component has been redesigned to help the rider get in and out quickly and adjust the bindings without screwdrivers. See how it works!
Key Features:
Suspension system built into the base that provides cushioning
Highback and baseplate within the same structure so they don’t need to be adjusted indpendently
Collapsible binding that becomes nearly flat, allowing more boards to be stacked within a small space
Preset settings for stance and angle
