My mate's been skiing since he was a kid, parents always made him wear a helmet as a kid and he just kept wearing one. He's always going off-piste and doing black runs so he says he feels he should wear one. Also he falls over doing stupid shit a lot. Just over Christmas he got avalanched on and hit his head pretty hard. He just text me last month saying he bought a new helmet with ultra warm lining and headphones built in so he clearly doesn't see it as a hindrance or an annoyance. I think it's because of that he also always cycles wearing a helmet. Thankfully he doesn't preach.
