As some of you noticed, I now wear a helmet when I ski. Call it leading by example…except that I only started wearing AFTER my kids were wearing theirs and they kept bugging me to get one.
The cool thing about my helmet is that it has vents. Keeps your head cool on spring skiing days.
Of course the bad thing is when it’s not spring skiing….
And you forgot to put the plugs back in…
Which is what happened today. I thought my head was going to freeze but only on those little squares where the vents were open. I felt like I was being attacked by Frozone.
Adding to the humor was the fact that I didn’t have my beanie with me either…
AND instead of grabbing my goggles - that fit over my glasses - I grabbed Amy’s goggles that don’t fit over anything.
So I skied a run and came home. Great to have a season pass.

Last time I went skiing I forgot my goggles as well…just had sunglasses. What started out as a nice day turned into a blustery white out. No fun skiing when you can’t see…scary, too. Fortunately our out-of-town visitors had an extra pair in the car. Not a great pair, but better than having your eyelashes frozen together.

Not having goggles is definitely worse. I wore sunglasses to ski in one bright sunny day only to realize at lunch that my eyes were getting burned from the reflection off the snow.
Plus the cold…like the warmth of goggles.
