Speaking of KMS/KSC at Ramshead. . . .

. . . How come most of their coaches do not wear helmets?

Bad example.

Have you met them - the damage is done.

The helmet impairs their ability to easily communicate with students. The instructors complained about it when told they were to wear head protection.

Pure BS . . . Modern helmets have perfectly adequate aural features . . .

So let me try to understand this. The coaches can't hear or talk properly with a helmet on . . .hmmm So how does the student hear anything wearing one?? Maybe the kids should stop wearing them so they can communicate better . . .

I grew up ski race training without a helmet and I turned out just fine.

Maybe that's why none of these kids ever make the national team??? Problem solved - get rid of the helmets.

Good question, has KMS/KSC ever produced a World Class Skier??

And you prove that with each post.

It's a matter of personal preference. If it is about hearing better, so be it. I rarely wear a helmet, but will do so when bitterly cold or feel like the day will involve more than average risk activity for me. Also don't wear a helmet on my motorcycle unless on the highway at speed. My choice.

I do see an occasional patroller without a helmet. Helmets are mandatory for customers when taking a lesson and you are under 18. Staff also required to wear when working with customers under 18. I am assuming that KMS/KSC are not K employees, but patrollers seem to fall under the K jurisdiction. Choice is good.

Until you suffer a TBI and the rest of us have to pay millions to keep you in a vegetative state for years.

But hey, it's your choice.

[brownman]

.. aren't most on here already in a vegetative state ? .. present company excluded ..

Only if you count Donna W. I don't think she is an alumnus.

Opinions vary.

Define world class -

Better than any of us?
On the US Ski Team?
Won a medal in the World Cup?
Won a medal in the Olympics?
