Absolutely. It’s totally cool to do so now…not like 10 years ago when it was seen as dorky. Also, it’s not just you falling you need to worry about, it’s being hit by someone else out of control. It’s simply just a good idea. $200 bucks for a helmet is so little to pay when you think of how much you would regret it if you needed one and you weren’t wearing one. A friend of mine, who is an expert boarder, took a VERY minor fall…shouldn’t have even registered on the radar… but the surface was icy, and he slid down the run and gathered speed, then he slid into a tree. He will never walk again, talk again, do much of anything again. He is paralyzed and in a persistent vegitative state. Very sad and totally could have been avoided.

I don’t wear a helmet, but it is a good idea…

yes, so you won’t get snow in your face.

Only if you like to survive blunt force trauma to the head.
Hey you only have one life why not lose it in a fall on a mountain on Christmas Eve. No biggy.
Choose safety, wear a lid.

wearing a helmet should truly be Your Choice.. but you might find them helpful when your head is torn from the rest of your body during an accident. having the chin straps really makes the cleanup easier for the park staff, doncha know!

If you ski intermediate or expert slopes in an even slightly aggressive style, I would definitely recommend it. I’ve been skiing for 35 years and I just used a helmet for the first time at Stowe. It was so lightweight and comfortable that I barely noticed it.

Personal choice, but erring on the side of caution is always a good idea.
Take it from someone who wears a brain bucket regularly.

of course but you can use other alternative also

If you intend to hang on to your brains a while. There are plenty of idiots up there and you can’t prevent them from running you down or off a cliff.. You must be Aussie or something… "snow skiing" If you’re Aussie don’t bother wearing a helmet… In fact, nobody should ever were a helmet for any reason… Just after they have major head trauma and are recovering in hospital on my tax dollars…

I have never worn a helmet while snow skiing, but then I don’t got down slopes that are above my skill level!
08/29/2010 at 1:29 pm
well depends if you are a beginner you may want to!!! I see more snowboarders wearing them than skiiers, dunno why!

Ask CHER, her late husband,"SONNY BONO" DID NOT WEAR HIS.

If you want to live, wearing a helmet is necessary.
08/29/2010 at 1:29 pm
What is "necessary" is determined by the individual. I’ve been snowsking for 26 years and have never worn a helmet. For the vast majority of those years I never saw a single skier wearing a helmet on the slopes. However, more seem to be wearing them in the last couple years. Still, they are mostly seen as a necessity for those hard-core skiers that ski fast and loose and like to take risks. IMO, most average ‘blue-black’ skiers that ski recreationally and ski under control do not wear helmets. If they do, they’re not skiing at the resorts we visit. Still, if you feel safer wearing a helmut (which you should, because you ARE safer) then wear one. Never let majority rule when it comes to decisions about your own well-being or health.
