I wear mine sometimes, but i dotn think ive worn it once this year.
i would wear one all the time but i have a huge head and a shitload of hair so i have to wear a xxl helmet.
I look fucking gay, plus it seems like the only times ive ever hit my head hard ive been wearing a helmet

never wore one, i had to in a comp tho and i felt invincible, then i saw my friend bail and smoke his head
and get seizures and head swelling, even when he was wearing a good helmet meant for ski-ing so i decided it would be a good idea to get one, i ordered it 3 days ago lol

helmet. always. unless its a shitty day and i KNOW im only gonna be cruising around, skiing very mellow terrain. last week my brother (snowboarder) was riding too fast through a somewhat rocky area, fell pretty badly, smacked a bunch of rocks, got all bruised and banged up. his helmet was totalled. he probably would have died or become brain damaged if he hadnt had his helmet on.

I'm paying how much per year to educate that bit of grey matter in my skull?

A good helmet costs $30?

Not even a question.

Why not?  They're warmer than hats and they even have vents and a little clip for your goggles.

I've been wanting to get a full face.   I've knocked a few teeth out and I think a full face would be the key.

I always wear a helmet.
Suck at skiing though, it's my first season. So when people see me wearing a helmet, and some allright clothing, they're just waiting to see me do some mad steezed tricks at the bigjumps, and I just do air with some grab or something - while hoping I'll be landing on my feet.

Attention whore :)

My buddy just gave me one. I rocked the helmet for the first ever. I've been skiing since 93. I didn't even notice I had it on. I will wear one from here on out. There's just no reason not to.

I hate not wearing one.
it's not that I don't feel safe/
my goggles just always slide up, and my hat normally comes off too
so my ears freeze.

anybody who doesn't wear their helmet is an idiot. it doesn't matter how good of a skier you are. i wear one because i'm afraid of some dumbass running into me, not me wrecking myself. that's like not wearing your seatbelt, it takes 1 second to put on and will probably save your life.
