Helmets?

I recently viewed the 2021 skiing production “Zootspace” and I was shocked to see so many of the skiers not wearing helmets and exhibiting reckless behavior. I left a comment addressing the issue, but I felt that this needed to be addressed more directly. Will someone please tell these young men that they will hurt themselves if they keep skiing without a properly fitted helmet?

I also do not understand why these talented skiers choose to ski outside of the resorts. Chairlifts we’re invented for a reason?

What do you mean by “jet skies”

Do you mean you see jets in the sky at Alta?

Warms my heart to open a thread, read it, scroll to the bottom to post this, and to see someone’s already done it for me.

They would have helmets and lift tickets however they had lost quite a bit of money on ill advised table investments and can no longer afford such luxuries

this could occupy a few hours:


Get a $1 generic brand 2 liter of soda (for the smooth cylinder shape), drink/empty it, fill to the top with water or sand, gorrilla glue the fuck out of the lid. Wait like 30 mins and then take an old deck and use it as a balance board. I was mediocre at it. Could throw shovs on and off do some surface swaps. My buddy who skate a shit ton was able to do heel flips while on the bottle which was pretty sick.

We would play SK8 in our living room just to pass the time.

If you stand on the bottle parallel to the skate deck like you would slide a rail, pengine style, you can practice your balance and body placement for next season. Very helpful for one-foots

a beanie provides more protection than a helmet (scientific fact)

Yes. A beanie will give you a 100% higher chance of brain damage. This is unmatched by every helmet in the market!
