As a youngster on the slopes, I had no fear - I’d point my skis straight down a black diamond and shoot off like a rocket down the hill with the notion that I was invincible.  My sister, however, was terrified after a bad skiing accident, and transversed slowly down each slope, skis wedged, trembling.  These differing ski styles ultimately resulted in frustration - I’d be at the bottom of the hill waiting for 20 minutes wondering where my family was, my dad skiing on looking for me worried that I’d crashed head on into a tree, my mother poised patiently waiting as my sister cried her way down the hill.  My point is that at times like those, it would have been immensely helpful to have Burton’s Audex Jacket for the whole family.  Not only is it cutting-edge in terms of warmth and ventilation, but this puffy ski jacket is equipped with a Motorola Bluetooth phone system, with a control panel built into the sleeve.  Call your sister at the bottom of the hill and let her know you’re okay; make plans for lunch at the lodge while zooming down the mountain; or, though I don’t encourage it, make a business call from the ski lift.
