Bobble Head

Jeff has been hassling me for several years now about buying a helmet for skiing. I have been resisting for obvious reasons. I mean why would I want to wear a huge, bobble head helmet when I could have a cute blonde pony tail bopping in the breeze or a beanie to match my ski outfit? But I have finally realized that, with the increasing number of out of control crazies on the ski slopes, protecting my noggin is more important than the way I look on the slopes. So today when I spotted a normal looking helmet on http://www.tramdock.com/, I made the purchase.

Here she is.

Here is the description of my new protective gear:

Giro teamed up with top riders like Antti Autti, Gretchen Bleiler, and Andy Finch to bring you the low profile, lightweight Shiv Audio Helmet. This park and pipe oriented helmet features a polycarbonate shell to save your skull when things go wrong, and eight Super Cool vents to keep you cool while you hike a rail or booter. Two rare earth magnets provide the stealthiest goggle clip ever, and the interior subliner let’s you customize your fit or make room under the helmet for a beanie or goggle strap.

If Gretchen Bleiler uses it, it has to be cool, right?!

Mom and Dad, I know you are proud of me. Now we just have to convince my sis.
