I remember being pretty nervous the first few times my son went off to Nashoba for ski school. He has always worn a helmet, but I knew that doing so didn't make him immune to injury. | |

| Where's the helmet? Terrible tragedy but I am SHOCKED that the ski club did not have MANDATORY helmet use. Our ski club in NJ does not allow your kid to ski without a helmet. Liability and safety issues. |

 .I hear you about the feel bad and mourn parts, but does one ever really "move on" or do we accept death as best as we can and learn to live with it? I don't know if you ever really get over it. Sorry for getting philosophical; I pray I never have to find out with respect to my children. | |

| That's sad. My son is nine and like JimG it breaks my heart to think of someone losing a young son to this kind of accident. With children I think the policy should be "no helmet, no ski."
