Hi there!
Another topic at the coaching conference was Concussions. Head trama! Now if you have a fall and bang your head we must watch for the following symptoms. Head ache, blurred vision, disorientation of time and date, dizziness, vacant stare, inconrehensive speech, nasea, ringing in ears, double vision, incooridination.
Now, The head coach of the Canadaian team said if you have one concussion in a helmet, you should replace it. Helmets are desinged for one big crash only! I know some of you have had concussions. Those of you that have had one please replace that helmet. We want to be as safe as possible.
Bye for now.

Hi Doug!
Yes.... Few years ago I've had concussions 3 times in 2 seasons with same helmet. 2 times of them were in the first day of the season. So I replaced it and I never speed up for the first day of every season,
and the first run in every morning.
Bye for now.

Yes, it is good to ski slowly on your first day and do basic training!
I am very glad you bought a new helmet!
Bye for now!
Doug
