Alright im getting a new helmet and i am wondering what your preferences are. I am looking at pocs right now but i dont have a specific model in mind and im open to your suggestions.I have crowbars so i would like the helmet to fit well with crowbars.

What do you suggest?

to be honest.. i LOVE my new Smith Holt. It fits my head perfect.. It's not as light as the maze, but it is still very light..
Here is the site if you wanna check it out.

Smith maze is a great low profile and sturdy helmet. Lightest on the market, I believe. Fits me head perfectly. I highly recommend it.

Weight should be the least of your worries I have the giro g9 and I love it, it's not flashy or anything but it is very safe which is the most important thing, it's also only 100 which is pretty good for a safe helmate I would also recomend anything. Made by poc but it is very expensive, if you are doing heavy pow like in Alaska I would recommend getting something like the poc backcountry, it has a tracing system in it if you get stuck but the really cool thing is a new technology called MIPS I would recommend looking it up even if you don't have any intrest in buying it because it is so cool

i have a smith maze as well and its great. not in love with the color i have, but if i desided to get a new helmet it would probabley be another mase. aslo, i used to have the burton r.e.d. helmet that shaun white wears and that fit the curve of crow bars a little better, but i would still opt for the maze.

Whatever u do dont get a red helmate, also I wouldent recommend smith, I know that people like them cuz they are light but they aren't safe, the shop I go to refuses to sell either of those brand because they just aren't safe helmets at all, go with giro or poc

sort of sounds like bullshit. I mean, I can't imagine that a helmet rated for ski/snow would really be unsafe, I mean, we're not in Cambodia, smith and red would get the shit sued out of them if they were selling unsafe helmets.
