WEARING A HELMET IS USING YOUR HEAD
Noreen • January 25, 2019

Wearing a helmet is a personal choice, however more and more people are choosing to protect themselves rather than risk injury.


Ski helmets provide significant protection from impact injuries, whether you are a beginner or an expert, a helmet is one way to protect your grey matter!

Advanced and expert skiers tend to cover more terrain, take greater risks and often fall harder than the cautious beginner skier/snowboarder. It only takes one fall or collision to cause damage. Everyone is at risk regardless of their ability.


Ski resorts can be crowded, and your risk of colliding with another skier increases because of this. Those that are new to the slopes often lose control, forget how to stop or are unsure how to handle the conditions. Experienced skiers can get carried away, they may be lost in thought while listening to their music, not sticking true to their ability and may be careless. You do not control other skiers on the slopes, therefore everyone is at risk of injury.


Helmets protect you from more than speed injuries. A seemingly harmless fall could result in bumps and bruises, severe headaches, concussions, unconsciousness, or worse.


During those cold snaps, a helmet can be warmer than a toque and on those warm spring days, you’ll be surprised at how cool they are due to venting options available on many styles.


Make your own individual fashion statement with the many different shapes, styles, and colors of helmets available today.Before you head out to the slopes take some time to look at ski helmets and consider adding this piece of equipment to your ski gear.


It is definitely a worthy investment and a great example to others to wear a helmet!

Monashee Spirits, Revelstoke, Apres,

Revelstoke Après: Monashee Spirits is a MUST! Okay fam, let's talk about the perfect way to cap off a day on the slopes in Revelstoke, BC. You've carved some serious powder, your legs are burning (in a good way!), and you're ready to relax and refuel. Enter: Monashee Spirits Distillery. This place is a must-visit, whether you're a whisky aficionado, a cocktail connoisseur, or just looking for a cozy spot to warm up after a day in the snow. First off, the whisky. Can we talk about the collection? Over 700 bottles! It's a whisky library, a whisky museum, a whisky…well, you get the picture. They've got whiskies from all over the world – Scotland, Japan, you name it. Imagine sinking into a comfy chair after a long day of skiing, a warming dram of your favorite whisky in hand. Pure bliss. Seriously, if you can't find a whisky you love here, you might need to re-evaluate your life choices. Now, I'm no whisky expert (yet!), but thankfully, the folks at Monashee Spirits know their stuff. They offer these amazing tasting flights, which are perfect for newbies like me and seasoned pros alike. It's a guided tour of flavor, and they change it up regularly, so there's always something new to try. But hold on, whisky lovers, because that's not all! Monashee Spirits is more than just a whisky haven. They also craft incredible cocktails using their own distilled spirits (and other carefully selected ingredients). Think creative concoctions, classic cocktails done right, and seasonal specials that will blow your mind. Picture this: you've just come off the slopes, the snow is falling outside, and you're sipping a Monashee Mule or a Topless Girl on a Bike in Paris (yes, that's a drink!). Pure après-ski perfection. They clearly put the same care and passion into their cocktails as they do their whiskies.
