I do think that ski resorts should make helmets mandatory, however. I've thought that for a long time, but most resorts I've associated with seem to be willing to take the small risk of head trauma over alienating potential customers. If I owned a resort, I may hold the same view the resorts do now, however.

My friend & ski partner began wearing a helmet this year. His choice. He is afraid of losing time at work due to a ‘preventable’ injury. I might make the same decision in a year or 2 when my skills begin to decline. I’m pretty honest with myself on that score.
