In spite of making you feel like an 80s holdout, walkie-talkies are nice when you’re skiing in a group at the resort that lacks reliable cell phone coverage. You can find your friends when you get separated or ask around to see who has your lighter. These voice-activated walkie-talkies tell time and have a couple alarms to wake you up for first chair. You’ll have to remember to set it next to your head since sleeping with an antenna on your wrist can’t be very comfy. They sell for about $120. Â
