MinggDude. Last runs are the most dangerous.


I take it off as soon as I leave the park for the last slopes to the bottom of the mountain (which can't really be called slopes, if you'd know my resort)

I almost always ski with a helmet. Tried no helmet a couple of times and then smacked the back of my head and tasted/smelt blood, but oh boy did it feel good up until then.

Park always. Anything else it really depends on how I'm feeling or where I'm skiing

The majority of the time I do. Sometimes if I'm cruising or just chilling I won't.

No. But i dont go hard when its icy. Soft snow makes it so that it doesnt really matter if you wear one. Also wearing one you can still get paralyzed etc. you have to be on top of your shit, mut or no mut

I always wear one but the problem is that mine doesn't fit right, and I think it's because of my goggles being to big.
But does anyone know of any good helmets that fit tight and snug and won't fall off? thanks

go to a ski shop and try some on, giro is the most popular brand so you could try that first :) it also helps that new helmets sometimes have the spinny wheel thing on the back to make it the perfect fit :) also giro has a size chart on their website giro.com! i am not sponsored by giro lol i just like them

also bring your goggles, to try on with the helmet to make sure they fit together!

I do when I ski park, I have no intentions of hitting my head on a rail, that'd blow. But if i'm shreddin through pow or just some groomers then probably not. I think it should be up to the skier/snowboarder, it's their noggin.
