We have seen e-ink in plenty of watches and clocks, but this is the first time we have ever seen e-ink in a snowboard.

While you are flying down the mountain, you can keep track of your orientation using the built-in compass and altimeter. The display also crams in a clock, weather icon and even email alert for when you really need to check you messages. Sadly, it’s a concept to showcase e-ink and not available for retail sale. This is the spring, though, and maybe someone will be inspired to build one in time for the winter ski season. [Engadget via DVICE]
