Couple Questions:
I need a new helmet for park skiing. What are the Pro and Cons of the Bern Baker and Smith Holt

Can I use these outside of the park in the BC or should i get a different helmet like a full faced one

if youre spending a lot of time in the trees you want a full face, the others will do fine all over otherwise

I wouldnt go with full face unless you ski some crazy big mountian lines..Ive worn a Giro 9.9mx the last couple of seasons and ski all kinds of resports in BC..steeps, trees, groomers, park whatever...full face is overkill....

I know it isn't a popular choice, but I LOVED my full face. So protective and inspires confidence in the trees, not to mention it is pretty dark comfortable. The only real downside to the full face is goggle fogging.
