HELMET RULE CHANGE!
This rule was already in place for the 2017-2018 season for all major levels of ski racing. As of this past March, USCSA announced that each racer must have their own FIS helmet. This helmet standard has elevated the minimum safety standard for one of the most dangerous sports in the world. Most high school, and all USSA and FIS racers will have a FIS approved helmet already. This is the only required piece of equipment.
If you need help acquiring a FIS approved helmet please reach out to the team ASAP! If you would like to purchase a helmet on your own we recommend always buying new as this is the only way to ensure proper fit and integrity. A fair price point is anywhere below $250 dependent on numerous features.
