THANKS to all Ski Resort Employees who promote Safety by wearing a helmet

I've decided for the remainder of the season whenever I see an Employee on the mountain wearing a helmet I'm going to stop and personnally thank them for setting a safety example for our children. Of course this assumes they are not in the middle of teaching a class, etc.

I realize that there are certain employees who can't wear a helmet because it would indeed mess up their perfectly groomed hair doo and image! It is fairly obvious to identify those who value vanity over safety. My wife used to be in that camp until she was taken out by someone while getting on a chair lift and she wacked her head on the back of the chair - now she won't step on the mountain without a helmet. You never know when someone is going to take you out!

I realize that wearing a helmet is a personal choice but it's almost an embarsement when a ski resort is constantly preaching/advertising safety and yet a subset of their own employees won't even take this simple step of setting an example for kids to follow. Especially Ski Patrol members - quite the irony in promoting safety!

However, I am impressed by the shear amount of kids wearing helmet these days. Maybe the kids are setting the example in this case and the adults need to follow!

Anywho - please join me in thanking employees who actively promote safety!
