re: helmets

I'm sure they will. However, if you think that your kids will be skiing for longer than just this year, I would consider buying them ski helmets. They really don't cost very much and could save their lives!

I'm and adult and fairly accomplished skier and even I wear a helmet. I have seen some truly nasty head injuries (some kids!) and decided to invest in a hemlet myself.

Hi Looroller,
We've been in touch with our instructor from pamps who is working in bansko this year as a private ski tutor and he says definately buy ski helmets. The resort is really busy and altho I look like Mr Turnip head in a helmet both me and the wife will have helmets this year. Our daughter has always had one. TResspass have got some on the web for about 20quid.
When you goin ? We're there 3/3/07, 14 from northamptonshire stayin at the Lion !
