I think it's a step in the right direction. I'm sure their insurance company had something to do with it or offered them some sort of discount.

It only takes someone to lead the way, then others will follow.

What's the matter with you guys? There's a thread on epic with over 200 posts heatedly discussing this topic. Some feel as if their personal rights are on the verge of being taken away based on this! Could Alpine Zone actually be mostly reasonable people who see no point in arguing such an "important" societal change? :p

Nope! Been argued to death already.
See this post http://forums.alpinezone.com/44360-...-required-wear-helmets.html?highlight=helmets as an example.

This is not about safety, it is about image. If it was safety, AIG/Stowe would have required this years ago. Personally I think it is a good idea either way.
