If your other half has some sort of objection to getting a helmet, get them a helmet cam for Christmas.

Some sort of elastic band needed then :mrgreen:

If I was doing 70% of my skiing off piste I would wear one to, but I don't, so I'm not...... :wink:

If you smack your head, it doesn't matter if it's on or off piste.........which has just very sadly been proven

It is individual choice, my choice is not to wear one, as of yet no one has mentioned the rock hard pistes of the east coast, :cry:

Thats because you can't travel very fast when your backside is stuck on the snow :shock:

Call me stupid, but it has not changed my opinion on helmets or wearing ipods when skiing :evil:

Originally the reverse, I was more concerned about the hard surface of piste. Nowadays, for both. Off-piste in the trees I'm sometimes glad of a helmet particularly.

Yes I can see that
