Playlist Magazine's iPod Guide to Winter Sports

Despite having attended school where winter was quite literally seven months of the year, I never took up winter sports like skiing or snowboarding. Well, other than a crazy drunk game called Sled Wars we invented one snowy evening. The several times I attempted to learn or ski or snowboard, I ended up hurting myself and eventually gave up trying. This winter I'm considering once again an attempt to learn to hit the slopes, with my iPod in tow.

Playlist Magazine has just published a guide to using your iPod with winter sports. They review some hard shell cases for your iPod as well as some outer protective gear like a helmet with a built-in earphones and connector for your iPod, and a jacket with iPod controls on its sleeve.

If I find myself on the slopes a lot this winter, I think I'll buy an iPod Shuffle for its durability and solid-state memory. See you on the bunny slopes.
