The Ski Helmet Debate

I will confess that I don't wear a helmet but know it makes sense. Last season out of 5 skiiers I was the only one that didn't suffer concussion or need to take time out after a severe headache due to a fall and in all honesty it was surprising since I took some pretty hard falls.
I have to say it is noticeable in Canada that more skiiers wear helemets than they do in Europe and in fact I have had a few lectures about not wearing one as a skiier when on a chair lift! :shock: |

How young can you start to snowboard?

There is no specific age as to what is too young to start boarding but from memory I think 7 was the youngest the ski school was happy to take.
Its a bit like skiing. Some people will start their kids as young as 2 or 3 but personally I would say the best age is 4 upwards only because they have a bit more strength and understanding and also a bit more interest but then again you have the odd child younger who picks it up and wants to be there so it is always child dependant. |

Nice set of skis Bandit! :D
Twin tips are perfect for the snow park just a nightmare to follow if someone is skiing on piste with them as they kick up so much snow..... |

I've seen some really good head camera footage and its probably the best way you will be able to ski normally and therefore capture the moment. I would have thought that the hand held "a la Mr bell" will give you as much potential for sky and snow shots as a head cam given you won't be filming using the viewer and your hand probably won't naturally face downhill...... just like you are likely to look up and down with a head cam :?:
I'm sure some of you will correct me if I'm wrong :lol: |
