Inflatable ultra fun in the snow

Inflatable ultra fun in the snow

Airboards are an inflatable and lightweight sled for those hard-to-reach peaks. Designed and perfected in the Swiss Alps, they combine traditional sleds, with an inflatable body for ultimate fun. The hard base and runners give you fast response and a very fast ride, while the padded body irons out the painful bits. The airboards come with a hand pump and a carry bag and they can be inflated in about 3 minutes. There is a range of models and prices and sellers can be found through Europe, North America and Asia Pacific. Prices from $US280 with a review of the Airboard here.

For sliding on backcountry ungroomed terrain, ski slopes and terrain parks. This multi-purpose Airboard offers a great slalom style ride. Quick and easy turning on those uneven slopes! Great for catching some air too! If you suffer from back and knee problems and are unable to ski, snowboard, short ski or any snow sport requiring you to stand up with bent knees enduring high-impact landings, Airboard may be the answer for you to get back out on the slopes!

MBL 101 X-Treme Speaker System - 1.5 tons of luxury surround sound

The MBL 101 X-Treme Speaker System costs $250,000, weighs 1.5 tons and features four omni-directional mirror imaged speaker arrays with a single bass tower and integral amplifier. If all that stuff made your pulse race and mouth drool, and you’re a member of a Gulf state royal family, hey, this one’s for you. Remember though that as iPod docks go, it may need a tad more space in the bedroom than you’re used to, Your Highness.

 The mbl Flagship, the embodiment of thirty years of research and development. Unquestionably our most ambitious effort to date, each hand finished X-treme is a thing to behold, a sculptural device that benefits for classic Germany attention to detail, and obsession with perfection. This World-class loudspeaker uses three pulsating spheres (for bass, midrange, and high frequencies) as a starting point, MBL’s engineers and craftspeople employed carbon fiber, aluminum, steel, acrylic, and wood to create this massive four-tower speaker system. Every disc is a concert ticket to a live performance
