The Transcend Ski Goggles are the first ski goggles to have an integrated GPS system to help skiers navigate the slopes in a way that is more efficient and accurate.  A company called Zeal Optics, which is aiming to change the technology that is involved in skiing, created the goggles.  To create Transcend goggles, Zeal Optics collaborated with a company called Recon instruments to create the perfect pair of ski goggles.

The goggles have a direct-to-eye communications display that gives skiers a clear view of where they are going.  The goggles can measure speed, altitude, temperature, and even keep track of the time.  In addition to GPS capabilities, the goggles also feature a stopwatch and anti-fog control.

The goggles cost $350 for regular lenses and $450 for polarized lenses. The ski goggles wont be available until at least October 2010.
