If you're skiing and not falling then you're not skiing hard enough or pushing yourself!
Sure, once you get to a certain level then you can ski all day without falling if you're happy to cruise—*but the same is not true if you really want to improve.
I have worn a helmet since I got more serious about skiing and would NEVER consider not wearing one ever again. I have been saved time and time again by helmets, in the park, on the piste and a most of all off piste (where help is the furthest away).
I've been twice already this season and can safely say that without a helmet I wouldn't be typing this—*several times over. In my opinion, whatever your level of ability they are essential.
