I spent the weekend in Vermont. I got to snowboard for three days in a row. My legs are sore and my whole body is exhausted, but I had a great time, and it was definitely worth it.
While on the mountain, I had to shop for a few things. The first thing I needed was a helmet. I did a web search to see if I could find a helmet that is Made in USA. Unfortunately, that turned up nothing. There are a few companies that manufacture in Western Europe, but I couldn't receive one of those in time to get to the mountain. So, here is where I made my trade-off. I view a helmet as an essential accessory. It isn't something I can do without until I can find one that fits my new mission to locate Made in USA products.
So I went into the snowboard shop on the mountain's access road, and chose this helmet:
Red - Mutiny Helmet: $89.95
It fits well, and my head feels safe. Head injuries are no joke, kids! You don't have to be doing anything extreme or exciting to crack your skull open on the ice, so it's best not to take any chances.
