Saved my life
"This helmet is not rated for skiing however I bought it for lightweight protection going uphill on skis with easy downhills. On one particular day I was charging downhill and came across a snowplow tilled up the snow on a blind hill in the middle of a freshly groomed ski run. Maybe it was a veteran snowcat driver covering up a rookies mistake but either way, I was going way too fast, the snowcat wasn’t visible and I hit the rough tilled up snow. I cartwheeled and distinctly remember hitting a chuck of snow with my head and summersaulting out of it. I had a good on over my helmet and didn’t realize my helmet broke until after I skinned up and out of the valley and out the other side. While this helmet is not ski rated, it did what it was supposed to and I skied away from the accident grateful. Since this accident I’m considering buying the same helmet for slow paced ski efforts but I have also bought the ski rated version for my fast downhill runs."
