Look at my avatar in the top left. I do now wear one when instructing - it's a ski school rule - and would certainly never suggest that people should not do so, but I firmly believe in freedom of choice in such matters, and my choice is to concentrate more on improving my skills such that head impacts are avoided, rather than hoping that a helmet might help in the event that an impact occurs.
Yeah, that works great when some out of control skier slams into you as you come of the lift, knocking you unconscious and breaking a few bones.

Do tell me how your greater skill levels help you here?
