Check out the fēnix 2 Ski-Board Mode

2 April, 2014

Just in time for some Spring skiing, the Garmin fēnix 2 has a dedicated ski-board mode that puts GPS data at your fingertips while shredding on the mountain. Ski-Board mode calculates 3-D speed and distance, which includes both horizontal distance and vertical drop. While in Ski-Board mode, the watch can tell the difference between going down the mountain and up the lift, so it can auto count the runs you take on the mountain.

fēnix 2 captures data such as time, distance, max speed and vertical drop. It even has a fabric extender strap which can be worn over your ski coat, so you can easily see the watch and data screens. Fenix2 2

You can even use fēnix 2 as a remote for Garmin VIRB and VIRB Elite action cameras so you always know when VIRB is recording. You can then overlay that data using VIRB Edit to make an awesome skiing or snowboarding video to share with friends and family.

If you’ll be doing any more skiing this season, make sure you check out the fēnix 2!
