Digital Ski Coach

This popped up on my Facebook feed. Would you use this? Instructors, what do you think?

Can I stop it from going “good job!” in that perky voice?!

I’m interested to see what the instructors do say.

My question is this: it's not like there's one technique for skiing. You ski moguls differently from ice differently from powder. How does this thing know the type of situation you're in?

And why aren't all the people in the video wearing helmets?

I bought one but it takes up too much space in my boots. I wasn't going to use it for the on mountain feedback but instead to look at the data after a run and for the day. I was interested in seeing if it could be used in place of video.

Good questions, @ski diva . Notes from this peanut gallery:
I wonder if the device can be shared between several skiers w similar boot sizes.
Furry headband is just too cliche.
I wouldn't mind testing this thing.

Yes, it can be shared physically. I don't know about the software. Functionally it's just a footbed with wires coming out of it similar to the wires on a hotronic heating element.
