My family and I ski a solid 20+ times a year, and there is no way on this earth I'd ski without a helmet or allow my children to ski without a helmet. It's not only about protecting ourselves in a fall but it's about all the other morons who don't know what they are doing. It's a wonder some of them know how to get dressed in the morning.
Last Saturday, my 9 year old tumbled a good 50 yards down a double black diamond chute. He wasn't hurt, but there was no way I would have let him take the run without a helmet.
