Ski Helmet Use Continues to Increase

The National Ski Areas Association reports that 43% of U.S. skiers and boarders wear helmets- a number which is increasing every season.

The annual demographic study also showed that 70% of children under the age of 9 wear helmets.

Not only are helmets great for safety, they are also warm-- say goodbye to cold ears! Some companies are taking it one step further and making helmets even more useful: Smith's audio helmets let you connect your MP3 player to its built-in headphones.
