lots of people use that helmet for skiing. it might not be as protective then say a g10 or a hifi or something but itts better than nothing

make posts that contribute, you tool.

it's hard to give it a number between 0-10.  It will obviously give you more protection then nothing, but less protection then helmets that are made specifically for skiing.

well it would be better than no helmet, but you should by yourself a ski helmet after couple hits.

I used a skate helmet last year, and I felt completely comfident with it. It wasn't as thick as my giro nin.9, but it had thicker plastic.

it does contribute, that would be my opinion, just like you think its not as good as a ski helmet. And whats with this new word "tool"? Never heard it

if it has the hard foam on the outside it would be good. if it was just like the two layers of padding and it was flimsy i wouldn't wear it. better than nothing though. . .
