Are walkie-talkies worth the price?
I find that my Motorola TalkAbout radios are most useful when I am skiing the same lift as my family and friends. It is great to be able to ski a different run or ski at a different pace yet still hook-up for a social ride on the lift. They are also useful if you ski ahead of someone that falls and does not get up! Occasionally, I have been able to successfully contact a friend on another part of the mountain, although, in the mountains, the 2 mile range is not reliable. Don’t count on the radio to re-group for lunch. Always set a time and place as well. Longer range radios are available, but require an FCC license.
