The snow cover looks good, but it looks quite overcast, and a bit dark. Sorry to hear that you got "taken out", but glad you are okay. Yes, I agree, the slopes are becoming more dangerous, tell me about it

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

That's what Mrs Ise was saying, I was out on my own so it might have been a bit awkward to get home although I suppose I could have tried the train.
I'm not certain how hard I hit the helmet, I'm thinking I might need a new one.

Did you feel shaken up afterwards, once the anger had subsided?

Ah, I spent a happy week at Saanenmoser a few years back. We stayed at Chateau D'oex (?) and took the little train everyday to Saanenmoser. It was only my second outing on skis, but had a great time. My memory is vague but there is a run which was like 'v' shaped and you had to go whizzing down the steep piste (well, I was novice so it was steep to me then) and you had to really go for it in order to get up the other side. It terrified me first time, but then I got to love it!
Sorry to hear of your accident though. Sadly, the idiots are everywhere. I met a gang of them in Zermatt when some snowboarders decided to have a sit down across the middle of the piste just over the brow of a hill, in bad visibility. I ask you.

Did you get his name and address, if so, charge him for the helmet. If he's a decent person he should be happy to pay for it.

No I didn't and I definitely took a hard hit to helmet so I'm going to need a new one. It's not the money of course, it's the principal.
Falls/collisions vary, there's no doubt in my mind that without the helmet it could have been a lot worse.

If you fell directly on your head, then you will likely need a new helmet, but if you ("merely"!) banged your head, it is not a definite for replacement. Your call, you read as though you would be happier replacing it.

As I read the standards and recommendations for helmets then I think any significant blow to the helment requries replacement. But, as you say, I'd rather err on the side of caution anyway.
