re: Ski helmets

you can hire helmets in resort if you need too.

re: Ski helmets

On a sad note a 12 year old boy was killed this week in Italy after he collided with a chairlift. If I had a child there is no way that I would consider letting them ski/board without a helmet.

re: Ski helmets

buy one from jjbs they had them in,

re: Ski helmets

It is entirely your choice if they wear a helmet. I work in skiing as well as doing as much ski touring as possible and wear a helmet. Again that is choice and I would not expect anyone to criticise you either way.

One thought though is that there is not a huge amount of snow at the moment so the snow may be hard with the odd rock showing through - painful if you slid and hit with your head!

re: Ski helmets

Who are you booked with? check the posts from a while back. One of the tour ops are offering free helmets for every child booked, but can't remember which one (yeah I know i'm rubbish) check through the brochure.

re: Ski helmets

It's Thomson holidays, for each child ski pack booked you get a free childs helmet if you send £4.95 to cover postage and packing. We got one for our son and it's very good VFM.

re: Ski helmets

We r going to Boro for the first time with 2 girls.
Just bought 2 new helmets from TK Max for £25 each.
Will then sell on EBay when we get back. (not going 08, so will have probebally grown out of them before we go again.) We will be back jan 20th if any good!
