it depends on what type of skiing your doing. You ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO wear a helmet!!! Even if you are a beginner and you say you will not fall hard enough to do damage you are lying to yourself. Even if you don't fall hard per se, the snow can still be as hard as concrete and sometimes you fall directly on your head, not landing on anything else first (yes, it happens. I've done it many times, it still really hurts with a helmet, don't want to know what it's like without). Or, if you are what you would call an expert and you say you won't fall, again you're lying to yourself. I've been skiing for a long time and I'm pretty good and I still fall occasionally, and when I do it is a full on wipe out, not a simple fall. I hit a tree a few years ago hard enough to permanently damage the tree, four years later there is still missing bark. I am lucky I was wearing a helmet! Here's a stat for you, 14% of ski injuries are head injuries, around 90% of ski deaths are caused by head injuries and around 85%-90% of these people weren't wearing helmets. At my home mountain, Big White, someone died simply because they decided not to wear a helmet, they hit a tree, HARD, and sustained serious head injuries which killed him, which also could have been prevented with a helmet. I think it's a no brainer. Please wear a helmet.
Firstly, they are boots, not shoes, and yes, you DEFINITELY have to wear them to ski. If you didn't you would have a lot of problems. You couldn't attach them to bindings and make them stay, you couldn't ski properly because only ski boot provide the right support, and because of the support issue I can almost guarantee that you would sprain your ankle ... or worse.
