We kitted ourselves out with helmets from Lidl - about 12 notes for the adult ones. I can testify that they hold the appropriate standards and I took a couple of whacks on the head (took a whack off a sharp bit of a chairlift and landed on my head whilst trying to perfect my off piste technique!) without any adverse effects.

Are ski helmets the same as riding and bike helmets, if you have an accident in them should they then be replaced?

Sam, would be adviseable but depends on the severity and how fast you were travelling. I would say Yes to change it (I'm a qualified Motorcycle training instructor and also work for the ambulance sevice) but there are different things to consider. If you actually land on your head or bang it off something hard then i would change it but if just snow then maybe not. Ski helmets are light therefore by just dropping them you are unlikely to damage the polystyrene that is inside unless it's direct on to concrete.

It's a toughy Confused

Helmets are not compulsory anywhere in Bulgaria - just strongly advisable.

the best helmet is a comfortable one, because unless you are happy with the comfort you wont bother using it. You wont need a 'race specific' one, so just try some out.
I know Ellis Brigham have considerably upped their order for this year some 26000 i believe!! as long as it has CE mark you should be fine Booze

A couple of helmets around £30-£40 range at these sites
I wore a helmet first time this year and found it comfortable and warm, and with the extra bonus I could strap my small video camera to it.
