I don't ski due to a knee injury (done while skiing) and have paid too much in consultants fees and mri's to risk it again. I am walking without pain now at last, but it took a few years after the accident. I'd kind of like to keep it that way now that I have a kid and live on a hill.

My husband says that a helmet keeps his head warm though and somewhere to put his goggles on his forehead - he hasn't lost them since.
