Talk is cheap

Motorola walkie-talkie

Motorola’s walkie-talkie is fast replacing the mobile phone on the slopes. No contracts required, you simply push a button and yap, while ten programmable call alert tones mean each caller is identifiable. It’s shock- and water-resistant, has an effective operational range of two miles and runs on either a rechargeable NiCd or AA batteries.
