And this is coming from someone who is dying to buy Google Glass!

I want one for the same reason, but if you just want a head-mounted camera to record your life, that's already a thing:

Apparently quite popular with cyclists.

I see cameras like that all the time when skiing. Snowboarders seem to use them more than skiers, but maybe I'm just biased :P.

I think it would actually be pretty cool assuming you ski somewhere interesting.

I have one for mountain biking, mostly for scenery shots or fast downhills. It's tough to see that as exciting once you've seen this video, though:

(Edit: that's the best proximity flying (wingsuit) video I've seen. Best use of GoPro cameras ever!)
