I dont currently wear a helmet while skiing tho its something to think about.

I went up to Mammoth Mountain (http://www.mammothmountain.com/) this past weekend -- its HUGE, I didtn even get to all the lifts, but I'm looking at doing a day to Big Bear in two weeks: (http://www.bearmountain.com/)
with a lesson to help me get my body forward and pointing downhill again.
