If you want to spend $500 on the new GPS goggles, it will tell you how much vert, avg/top and low speed as well as miles skied each day and after each run. Seems easier than trying to calculate it yourself. A friend on mine has them and I hear all the stats after each run. Kind of fun. Not sure I love the price, for info that I don't really care about. But in case you care there is a $500 solution!

And then I'd feel really crappy the first time a tree limb whacked them and they just became "goggles".
Besides, there should be an app for that for my HTC Evo soon??? As long as I carry a back pack of batteries to keep it running all day.

Actually, I haven't checked but I assume that there are wrist watches (such as some bike riders use) that would give you some of that information and let you download it into the computer at night (if you don't have anything better to do after a good day of skiing).
