This existed: a company called Recon made a HUD built into ski goggles. I have one and it's kinda fun: GPS and altimeter, and connects to your phone for notifications. It didn't sell well though and I think is now discontinued. The company was acquired by IBM.

> it's kinda fun: GPS and altimeter With 5G on the horizon, it might be time to re-launch such a product. Having the ski route traced out in front of you is not only helpful safety-wise, but could add a social dimension if key stats could be shared live--and visually, calling to mind a video game--between friends (or broader).

  As an avid skiier, a route traced out in front of you would absolutely NOT help with safety: more than driving, one needs to be able to see the surface conditions and be aware of obstacles at the edges of one's field of vision. At least until such a time when an AI is able to warn you of loose snow, bumps, ice, and a fallen skiier outside of your field of vision.
