Back in March we reported on the Ski Retriever, a device that could help skiers find lost skis – a concept that sounded better than just waiting for the snow to melt. Now the company behind this system has updated it with the AKKA Ski Retriever, which is designed to help skiers find skis or even friends.
The device features a one-inch OLED display that can reportedly provide visual and audio cues that can pinpoint the gear under the white stuff. But the device can also be used to locate friends if they have a transmitter on their person. Not a bad way to keep track of younger skiers on the slopes. The system is still getting additional refinement via a Kickstarter package so maybe it will be here in time for next year’s ski holiday.
