Re: Michigan Tightwads Advice please! Any snowboarders out there?

I'd say get a helmet as well. My husband went for the first time a couple of months ago and hurt himself. He is still having headaches from a wipeout he had. He told me just a couple days ago that if he goes again, he's going to invest in a helmet because he doesn't ever want to feel that type of pain again. A sporting goods store has helmets for snowboarding but call around to see who before you waste gas and time.

helmetsI think at MC sporting Goods. I'd give them a call. I know that bikiing
helmets are the wrong design, but if you have a rollarblading helmet it may
work, although, she may not wear it because it's kinda rare to see teens at the
slopes actually wearing a helmet even though it's stupid not to wear one, but
you know how peer pressure works. Good luck with the helmet and encourage
your daughter to throw the peer pressure out the window and listen to her wise
mom and a head, neck and spine critical care nurse--that's me. blessings,
