...allows for synchronized control of both skis, as well as various driver modes. It also allows for seamless connectivity with the Frigid App.

Why would I need an app for my skiis?

But it's "fun" based on alpha and beta testers.

Because what way could be more convenient while you are wearing 4 layers and gloves than pulling out your tiny phone and using its touchscreen?

Uh, is skiing really that difficult? I grew up water skiing and the one time I've tried downhill snow skiing I joked that my water skiing would help. I fell once on a flat part trying to get back to the ski lift and stopping was a bit of a challenge but other than that... did I actually have a leg up as a beginner?

So you can leak data, of course.

I can't water ski, either.
