Ski Helmets - How much?
Started by User in Ski Chatter, 19 Replies
Personally I don't like most of the POCs. Just bought a new one and one of the main deciding factors (apart from the obvious fit, safety etc) was the shape. Many helmets look like you have a bucket on your head or that you are the type of person that needs to wear one all day due to medical conditions (if you know what I mean) - I think the POCs have this kind of look!

I ended up buying a Scott helmet, really streamlined and very light. Having worn it this week when it was warm I found it extremely comfortable. It does not have a big fur lined inside, which for me is far too hot

Agree with all of the points above, comfort is a big factor - you will be wearing it for a many many hours each day!!
Les Arcs 1950

I am off to Les Arcs 1950 on 5 March with about 6 others. We are not into big apres, but do like to have a drink for two after skiing and maybe some at night. While we are there it is also my mate's birthday.

I know LA 1950 is not a big party town, but are there any places we should be heading for?

Tonight is skiing eve. Weather for the coming week looks like there could be some good bluebird days.

Having skiing lessons for the first time in about 10 years, I need to improve from the plateu I am on. Put my b*lls off the piste or moguls breathe deeply and GO!

Based on my previous experience of you and your sarcasm I think you are not be wholly truthful there. But no loss, because as always I read your comments and think "pfft, typical comment..." ;)

For ever the optimist!

Turns out I was wrong, as are you again.

When was the last time you were there to experience the conditions of this resort?
Yes, been fixated on web cams by the hour :)
Oh no!

I know it's a long way off, you are forecasting 25cm on Saturday when we are driving. Just like last year :thumbup:
