Do kids have to wear helmets when skiing?

Yes, it is highly recommended—and typically required by ski resorts—for kids to wear helmets while skiing or snowboarding. Wearing a kids ski helmet significantly reduces the risk of head injuries by providing crucial protection against falls and collisions. Helmets designed specifically for children offer a proper fit and are more comfortable, which makes it easier for them to keep the helmet on all day. Investing in a quality ski helmet for kids ensures they can enjoy their winter adventures safely and comfortably.


How important are Mips® ski helmets for kids?

Smith Mips® (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) ski helmets offer an enhanced level of safety during impacts. Traditional helmets are often engineered mostly for straight impacts, but most skiing/snowboarding accidents involve angled impacts that can cause rotational motion and potential brain injuries. Mips® technology incorporates a low-friction layer inside the helmet, which helps reduce rotational forces transferred to the head during certain angled impacts. This added protection makes kids' Mips ski helmets, like the Smith Scout Jr. and Prospect Jr., optimal choices for parents seeking high levels of safety in youth ski helmets.


What sizes do kid’s ski helmets come in?

At Smith, we offer extra-small, small, and medium youth helmet sizes. Many of our kids' ski helmets feature adjustable fit systems or even the Grow With Me dual-stage liner, allowing the helmet to adapt to your child's head over multiple seasons. Proper sizing of a youth ski helmet ensures it stays in place and provides maximum protection on the slopes.
