I am going skiing next week. My neice said everybody is wearing helmets now. I am just one or two steps past the bunny slope, with no trees in the way. Do I really need one?
Do you ski?

Hi HL
you can tell from my name that skiing plays a big part in my life! I don't wear a helmet, but I make my kids wear them. They're pretty extreme, jumps, rails speed. In Australia only a small percentage wear helmets, mostly kids. I skied at Steamboat, Colorado four years ago and it was the same at that time there, but it might have changed now.
Where are you going, have a great time........I'm jealous now!

My neice skiis somewhere in western Wyoming. She said most people wear helmets now.
We are going to ski Monarch. It is in central Colorado. We stay in Salida, which is 100 miles West of Pueblo. I have never played any kind of sports, but was invited to ski 6 years ago. After a few falls, I felt like Eliza in My Fair Lady. "By George, I think she's got IT".
I am now hooked. I love to ski. I love the cold. But the thought of having to wear a helmet, really turns me off. I can't even wear goggles, they steam up, because I get too hot. I opt for sunglasses. Which are perfect.
It will be just my daughter, who is 15 and I going, I don't want to feel guilty for making her wear, or not wear one.
How about an apostafest on the slopes???
