Ski helmets weren't a thing when I graduated from ski school 30 years ago. But these days? My helmet is the first thing I pack, whether I'm skiing at my home ski resort in Montana or traveling to the Dolomites to carve fresh tracks in the Alps. Ski helmets, or as I call them, "brain buckets," protect our most important organ. They also keep your head warm. Finally, they're a

A peer-reviewed study tracking 17 seasons of data found that potentially serious head injuries dropped from 4.2% of all ski injuries in 1995 to 3.0% by 2012, tracking closely with rising adoption over that same window.

Imagine being a ski patrol responder racing toward an injured skier on a freezing mountain. Your hands are gripping poles, your attention is split between the terrain and the emergency ahead, and your radio crackles with critical information.

The new Giant and Liv eyewear lineup revolves around a simple goal: clearer vision at speed. The glasses are designed to improve focus, contrast, and visual clarity across a wide range of riding environments, from high-speed road riding to gravel and trail use.

One day later, on Tuesday night, a 41-year-old resort worker died in a separate quad accident in Flims, Switzerland, part of the Flims Laax ski area. The back-to-back tragedies have drawn attention to the use of quad bikes-often fitted with tracks or crawler systems-by ski patrol, slope safety teams, and mountain operations staff across Europe and North America.

Rather than waiting until you arrive in a ski village or going out of your way to drive into the mountains, Boot Solutions is introducing a process in which you simply scan your feet and they do all the fitting remotely. Overall it seems pretty simple. You use the Boot Solutions app on on your phone to take a medical grade 3D scan of both feet and the company offers you plans from there.

Cornice collapses can be incredibly dangerous, having the potential to crush people, pull them down mountains and potentially over rocky cliffs, and cause larger avalanches. Professional skier Josh Daiek doesn't seem to be impacted by cornices as much as a regular skier or snowboarder would be, though. This incredible line starts with a heart pounding moment as he looked over the edge.
