This might be a good place to start on the "why do it" trail. Andi McCann's website....

Andi works with CEM. I've had Boot alignment done by him., Sole planing, internal shims, now set up to use a zero ramp angle. I reckon he's very clever at this stuff 8)

If not, then your advice is dangerously ill-informed. What I'd really like to hear from is someone who is a medical trauma specialist with ski resort experience - if they say that the helmet makes no difference to trauma injury, then I'd be interested.

The website belonging to Dr Mike Langran

Mike is the ski patrol doctor at CairnGorm Mountain in the Scottish Highlands & a GP (family doctor) at the Aviemore Medical Practice - the only general practice in the UK that treats significant numbers of acute snow sports injuries.

has in depth studies and plenty of insight. Here is a whole page on Helmets :D

Getting your local Lift Co. to open the hill/lifts and extend the workers' seasonal contracts, may be a bigger challenge.

Time to get out your skins :D

OK, hands up, which one of you prefers to wear a dress?

If everyone wants an ATOL or ABTA label, then an awful lot of small and medium size tour op's will be ceasing trading. Which won't be a good thing, as large co. monopolies will affect prices and choice.
