  1. Re: wearing helmets: yes, in fact, a lot of skiers on Instagram (especially those riding exclusively park or powder) will post clips without a helmet on. I don’t want to single-out one skier, but Alex Hackel has posted several reels over the years sans-helmet.

    The nice thing is people will post “no helmet no steeze” in the comments, all the time. The majority is pro-helmet, but some pros still go no helmet.

    The real question is whether or not we should put the onus on the “influencers” to demonstrate good habits, or if it is on us to educate ourselves on it to make the correct choice…

    I know I’m extremely pro-helmet, as I’ve gotten hit by ice falling from a chairlift (on what I considered a warm spring day) that left a scary ~10cm by ~3cm gash in my helmet. That, on my head? Hard to say what amount of skull I’d be left with…
