Welcome to the forum. However, why would you encourage everyone to wear a helmet?
My best purchase ever were my boots last season.

I think most people who are on the snow a lot, do look at people who are not wearing helmets, as out of touch, or not very serious about their sport. Just the way it is now, most serious skiers/boarders are wearing helmets.

That's not to say someone not wearing a helmet is not serious, but it certainly gives that impression.

Thats a very strange statement, does it really worry me that other people think I am out of touch cause I don't wear a helmet, answer no, your not a helmet salesman by any chance :shock:

Looks a lot better than it used to. I don't really see the point though, as monoskis seem to have all the disadvantages of an alpine snowboard, and none of the advantages. The inability to fully angulate because the feet are fixed together is always going to be a draw back. Still, it's like Telemark skiing, it's another challenge.
