Measuring your downhill speed

Curious about how fast you are traveling while hurling down a mountain? A wrist speedometer is the answer. It can measure your ground speed while you are skiing, snowboarding, or sledding to track total range and best speeds. The wireless, coded radio-frequency transmitter attaches to your boot, leg, or waist and projects a radar signal to measure average ground speed in MPH and KMH, as well as maximum speed, pace in minutes per mile, distance in miles, total distance, and elapsed time. This information is then sent from the transmitter to the watch display, which has a built-in lap counter, alarm, backlight, stopwatch, calorie counter, 12/24 hour time and date. Speedometers usually offer three automatic speed modes (cross country, downhill and Nordic).
