Involving a student's grades as a criterion for involvement could serve as a worthy motivation. I am certain that our Massachusetts resorts such as Wachusett, Nashoba Valley, Jiminy Peak and Brodie Mt. would participate in such a program. Don't be shy, this can work in our area schools. We can also consider Nordic and snowshoe programs to take place locally. Looking forward to hearing from you, soon.
Fit is more important than anything.
A snug fit is recommended, not too tight or too loose. A helmet may initially seem tight but after 5-10 minutes, will loosen as the inner liner conforms to your head. Allow enough time to get a proper helmet fit. Rent or demo if you can. Since all heads are not the same, helmets aren't either.
