How To Stay Safe in the Snow

All helmets are not created equal. Snow sports-related head injuries – like concussions – are becoming more frequent. Particularly in the 7-17 year old range, making helmets a must according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. The helmet should be approved and meet the required safety recommendations for that particular sport. The helmet should fit comfortably, but snug, on the head without movement forward or backward. Remember to try on last year’s helmet to make sure it still fits.
