In my opinion it is important to wear a ski helmet.

It's not an opinion, its a fact. I know someone who was skiing and hit a tree really hard, mostly with her head. When she went to the doctor she brought her helmet with her. He said that it most definitely saved her life, why? It was one of the best helmets on the market and it was in three pieces. Also, recently where I ski, Big White, someone died because they hit a tree without a helmet. They usually wore a helmet but that day they forgot their helmet at their house in Kelowna, a 45 min. drive away, so he decided he would ski without. Also, about 10% of ski injuries are head injuries, about 90% of ski deaths are caused by head injuries and about 80% of those people weren't wearing helmets. That's reason enough for me to wear a helmet, it could very well save my life one day and that's important to me.

What gear do you need for skiing?

For one day of skiing, typically you need a hat or helmet, sunglasses or goggles, boots, skis, jacket, long socks (do not use soccer socks, your best bet would be to buy a pair of ski socks at your local sports store), and gloves. The eye and head wear are optional, but i highly recommend a helmet and goggles; accidents can happen anywhere and a helmet might just save your life.
