All due respect... this couldn't be further from true. Helmets with MIPS tech or koroyd will make a world of difference even from standard ski helmets. Invest in something legit, your dome is the most important asset in your body.
Nah, protect your brain with an actual skiing helmet. Your hockey helmet likely isn't made for potential impacts at 50mph+ speeds. I'm all for saving money on gear but you might want to cough up the money this time.

First, protect your dome with a decent helmet made for skiing
Second, don't wear the hockey lid without the cage. You'll look like a fuck.
Similar examples should be attached

Omg lol. A lax helmet is the most useless helmet ever. They're so thin even a lax ball could give you a concussion. Imagine how cold it would be too all ventilated and such
I actually saw my math teacher at Keystone a few weeks back. He had a baseball helmet on, and he told me that he had just been in a collision where he had gotten hit and fell backward, hitting his head pretty hard. I don't know if he was concussed or not but you should by a ski helmet. From what I can tell, different helmets protect against different types of impacts. Any helmet is better than no helmet but I'm pretty sure a baseball helmet is made to protect a batter from being hit from wild pitches, not catching an edge while blasting a groomer. Look for a helmet with the MIPS system as well, all though it usually has a higher price point. Plus ski helmets add extra insulation to keep you warm.
A good helmet is Like a lawyer, you hope you'll never need it but you'll be glad you have one when you do.
this is just copied from Evo.com but it'll get you started
"MIPS is an acronym for Multi-Directional Impact Protection System. The technology was created in 2001 by members of the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. MIPS is a world leader in head and neck protection as a result of over 30 years of experience from its creators in the field of medical technology and research.
MIPS technology mimics the brain’s protective structure by reducing rotational forces caused by angled impacts to the head. The helmet’s shell and liner are separated by a low friction layer which allows the helmet to slide, noticeably reducing trauma to the brain in the case of oblique impacts. These angled impacts are considerably more common in action sports compared to the blunt force impacts for which traditional helmets are typically tested."
Also the foam in hockey helmets is softer and meant for smaller impacts at a higher rate. Most skiing/snowboarding helmets have a harder foam that is meant to break away at high impacts, basically taking the force into the helmet rather then your head. Hope this helps G.
bongripperDude you're gonna get a concussion and then your girlfriend is going to have to feed you with a spoon. Just buy a helmet for fucks sakes.
