Always wear helmets when skiing or snowboarding, no excuses. I know that I only blacked out and had a 3 week concussion after wiping out because of my helmet. Who knows what else could've happened. Don't be an idiot.
There is no one like you in the universe.

the stigma of looking like a dork is what has changed in the last ten years. it's entirely opposite such that you just look dumb if you don't wear one.

leaning forward is an important lesson for skiers and riders. you want your weight where you start your turns for control. leaning back essentially let's the snow drive you instead. which may have it's merits on heavy pow days, but not here on the east coast. usually.

i rarely wear a helmet and have only hit my head once, if you're slope skiing though i would more than recommend one because you can be in control but you don't know about the other idiots on the slope

Just wear a helmet, shit happens . I've seen people that could have suffered trauma or died if they weren't wearing one

i know the importance of a helmet, one saved my friend, he only lost his memories of the last week instead of his life.

shit happens is precisely why id say wear one, its generally the stuff you cant control which hurts you

Just finished day 4! Did a bunch more blues and even one of the blacks. The conditions were icy, but not as bad as yesterday. I find leaning forward on your skis causes you to go way faster, but it might have been that my boots were slightly under tightened and I actually had the right positioning without leaning all the way forwards in my boots.

I am proud that I managed to ski for four days in all sorts of conditions without a single fall. One of my friends who was a beginner at the beginning of the trip is now nailing blues with me and even did a couple of diamonds. He still often falls down when barely moving though which is hilarious. Next season I will hopefully have a solution for my goggles that is preferable to what I am doing now... if I plan to ski a lot I can just put the money into them.

also, so, turn.

Well, if I turn the same amount with both postures I go faster when I'm leaning more forward.

This requires me to turn my entire body rather than just my lower body using my hips. I'm not totally clear on when I should be traversing only as sharply as my hips allow and when I should actually turn my whole body and redirect my velocity towards the side of the trail. Obviously the former is sufficient for easy trails.
