Do any of you wear body armor/padding while skiing? In MN I ski on ice a lot and falling on it sucks

Accidentally posted this in gear talk before

I think I'm going to pick up a pair of impact shorts for this season. A helmet is a definite must.

I'm getting impact shorts for the season. My hips got all bloodied and bruised from sliding on ice last year. Never again.

I where ones similar to those when im doing rails or park all day, not being able to ski @100% because of falling on your legs on box/rail sucks. Might get a balls box too (i suck at rails) chest protection isn't really useful i think

I had actually considered doing wrist guards this season. The more I consider it though, the more I'm convinced the extra bulk will make it hard to use poles.
