Oops. I thought it was a smaller file.

I do ski off-piste a lot but wear a helmet all the time on resort terrain or
around trees. Many people at places like Sun Valley ski very fast and
collisions can be deadly. Those skiing fast are also usually skilled and
will not hit you unless you do something stupid and unpredictable. Some runs
are designated for slow skiing to give beginners a place where they don't
have to worry about people going by so fast. I only put stuff in the helmet
that I want to keep. I never ride a motorcycle without one. My head has been
hit too many times already.

Great James, a smashing photo with a great backdrop.  But why the
helmets?  Are you off-piste?

You might wish to resize the image file to fit 800 pixels wide so
that the List members on dial-up can see it.  It's 1.7mb file as it is.
