Hey Svend.  Did you replace your helmet after that fall?  I believe that they recommend replacing a bike helmet (or ski helmet) anytime it absorbs a significant fall whether it shows any signs of impact or not. 

I was thinking about this last night, and after consulting with my personal trainer she concurred that my impact at Powder Mountain sounded loud enough that I should start watching Steep and Cheap for a new helmet.  On the one hand seems a bit much, on the other hand I was a bit woozy when I first got up and it felt like a pretty hard hit.
