Updated:14 weeks ago
When connected to a compatible Garmin device, you can track your snowboarding and skiing performance, capture your best moments automatically and get real-time information about resort conditions, all hands-free.
What you need
- Meta AI glasses (Ray-Ban Meta or Oakley Meta)
- Compatible Garmin device connected to your glasses for real-time stats tracking
- Meta AI app on your phone
- Garmin Connect app on your phone
- Strava account (optional, for sharing with overlays)
Track your snow sports stats
Ask Meta AI about your performance during or after your snow activity:
- Ski runs: "Hey Meta, how many runs have I skied today?"
- Vertical descent: "Hey Meta, how much vertical have I skied today?"
- Vertical ascent: "Hey Meta, how much have I climbed?" (great for backcountry skiing)
- Speed and G-forces: "Hey Meta, what was my max. speed on my last run?"
- Slope grade: "Hey Meta, how steep was my last run?"
- Personal records: "Hey Meta, what's my longest ski run ever?"
Get resort and trail information
Stay informed about conditions without pulling out your phone:
- Lift status: "Hey Meta, how many lifts are open at Mammoth?"
- Trail conditions: "Hey Meta, is Brennan's Trail groomed today?"
- Weather: "Hey Meta, how much will it snow at Stevens Pass today?"
- Resort hours: "Hey Meta, what time does the resort close today?"
- Trail difficulty: "Hey Meta, give me some blue runs here."
Capture and share
- Auto-capture: Your glasses can automatically record video clips during key moments such as descents and ascents.
- Activity overlays: Add your snow sports stats (speed, elevation, run count) to photos and videos.
- Share to Strava: Post your captures with stats directly to your Strava activity.

Tips for using AI glasses in cold weather
- Battery life: Cold temperatures may temporarily reduce battery life. For best performance, temperatures of 0°C (32°F) and above are recommended.
- Stay warm: Wearing a beanie, helmet or balaclava can help insulate your glasses and maintain battery performance in temperatures below 0°C (32°F).
- Temperature alerts: If your glasses get too cold, you'll hear an audio alert. Move to a warmer area before continuing to use them.
- Charging: Charging may take longer in cold conditions. If the temperature drops below 0°C (32°F), charging pauses temporarily until the device warms up.
- Media import: Cold temperatures may affect when your captures import. Ensure that your phone stays warm for reliable syncing. For best results, import your media and review overlays after returning to a warmer environment.
Things to know
- Real-time stats require a compatible Garmin device with the Meta AI data field installed.
- Resort and trail information is available for major resorts worldwide, with data refreshed every 15 minutes.
- AI glasses are designed to operate in cold environments down to -10°C (14°F).
