Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

He was our flight home yesterday - I was was quite impressed that he was travelling with us oiks! I'm glad my helmet was tucked away safely in the hold and so I was spared his scorn. Although, in my defence, I rarely wear it Smile

A well reasoned from Bozza there, and I agree that fashion has a great deal to do with it. Speaking personally I've worn a lid for 3 years now after I clanged by head on a hard piste after a misguided attempt at a high speed pop off a lip, had a ringing headache for 2 days so got myself some protection. I like to take risks and push myself when skiing and am likely to stack as a result, my choice. I don't think any less of helmet-less people (e.g. 1/2 of my mates), and if you're pootling around there is generally little need for protection except for the collisions that Boris so eloquently describes. If I'm going to be in a collision, through no fault of my own, then I want to be the one wearing the helmet.

He doesn't wear a cycle helmet either.

But he does endorse cycling home after a few beers Very Happy

quote ...

"I have just one idea, if more people rode bicycles and fewer people droves (sic) cars you would not have to worry about the drink driving laws and I sincerely believe that. I have absolutely no prohibition about drinking a pint of two of beer and riding my bicycle where as I would not do that in a car."

Maybe He'd make a better Q than James bond.

Bandwagon jumped on. Quite amusingly written though. Helmet wearing does appear to be on the increase, particularly in Austria. In Ischgl I'd say it was over 50%, in Meribel, less than 25%. Maybe those who ski in Austria care more about their brains than those who ski in France?

Axsman, condom sales also much higher per head in Austria than France. Big users of protective equipment, those pragmatic Austrians.

That low Axsman ? I'd have put Helmut wearing in Austria to be much higher ? Maybe even 75% in Schladming ??

I think you will find that Boris's columns regularly attract far more responses than that.

"Everywhere you look there are thousands of skiers – children and adults alike – transformed by their headgear into shiny-bonced tadpoles."

I don't care what I look like - I wear a helmet because I hate the feeling of hats around my head. The helmet sensation is something I'm more used to from riding...

The comments from the Telegraph readers whinging that everyone other than them is rubbish at skiing are hilarious. Otherwise, the Oxford Union rhetorical style has much to answer for. Boris has clearly never met an overblown line of argument he didn't like.
