This may be a hijack, but did anyone else notice how few of them were wearing helmets.  It reminds me of Bushwacka's comments about JP.  (and props to you BW for wearing a helmet while you're teaching kids)

The rock stars and role models of skiing, and look at the model they are providing.  Why do people not wear a helmet on film?  And I think I need to put Harald in that group as well??

We have a few patrollers, what are you opinions about helmets?  Does your mountain require the patrollers to wear helmets? Do you wear a helmet? Does you ski school require helmets for under 15?

I've taken two really hard falls in the past 3 years (1 biking, 1 skiing), and I'm darn glad that I had a helmet on in both cases.

i wear a helmet all the time, well unless I am doing more walking then skiing and its warm out then it comes off....

With that said the amazing thing is I have never skied with a pro skier who wasnt wearing a helmet. Never not once including one that I saw not wearing a helmet in that trailer. These guys(well big mountain guys) almost always wear a helmet skiing. No clue why they do not wear them while filming all the time.
