No matter your skill level, it is important to be properly outfitted before taking off down the mountain. Aside from the obvious (skis, boots, and warm clothing!), there are three necessities that every skiier needs to maximize safety and control: helmets, goggles and ski poles.\u00a0Reach your highest level of performance on the slopes with the perfect ski accessories!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6670 size-full\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Helmet.jpg\" alt=\"Helmet\" width=\"732\" height=\"484\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Helmet.jpg 732w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Helmet-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 732px) 100vw, 732px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of the most important pieces of equipment to bring with you on the mountain is a helmet! No matter your skill level, a helmet is a must for mountain sports; everyone takes a tumble at some point, and protecting your head is a top priority.<\/p>\n<p>You may see a yellow circle that says\u00a0&#8220;MIPS&#8221; on your helmet &#8211; this stands for &#8220;Multidirectional Impact Protection System.&#8221;\u00a0MIPS is a technology that has been tested by leading researchers and brain surgeons to ensure that your head is properly protected upon impact. When you fall, your head hits the ground at an angle, creating a rotational force that strains your brain. MIPS helmets absorb more of the rotational violence caused by this kind of impact,\u00a0which better protects your brain than helmets\u00a0without MIPS!<\/p>\n<p>Find the best fit for you along with full-coverage protection, individual style and breathability.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-6668 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure
