fuck helmets!
ok but 4 real, i don't use a helmet mostly because my helmet hurts. i should get a new one. are Giro helmets good? but tbh i don't think that helmets are the most important thing. if there is one place i hurt on my body it's my hip and knees.
Not wearing helmet is kinda +rep some places as well

I don't wear one because one day I hope to become a pro skier so I can influence a bunch of impressionable kids to not wear helmets resulting in an increase of brain injuries. This way I can prove there are a ton of lazy/shitty parents out there who think edits are responsible for raising their children correctly.

This was just brought up... Broto had the end all be all comment for this.... riding w/out helmets is like sex w/out a condom. You know it’s a bad idea but god damn does it feel good. Not exact but you get the picture

If the temperature is above 40 then the helmet comes off.

I use giro, its comfy but not super goggle compatable. That could also depend on the goggles you have

I use to do that sometimes but after my concussion I got wearing a helmet, I just think "nah I should just wear it" and slowly put it back on. I overthink a lot so it gets into my head that first run no helmet I'll just smack my noggin or have a close call.

I always wear a helmet. I don’t ski a ton each season, so it prevents me from feeling “invincible”. Going without a helmet isn’t worth the risk to me, but it’s your brain not mine.

Do be stupid wear a helmet. Plus I prefer a helmet because there comfortable and warm and they have saved me in various situations. Someday your not gonna wear a helmet and just simply catch edge and could get a concussion and be out for about 2 months
