Head Knight Helmet System


I get asked about the Head Knight helmet quite a bit.  Before this helmet and lens system I would ski without goggles because contact lenses had become to irritating, and I prefer to have corrective lenses most of the time.  This system is great for everybody, but particularly useful for people who wear glasses and want a nice and affordable option.

Having purchased this helmet in the 15/16' season, I have purchased a new helmet for the 18/19' season.  The new helmet is blue and comes with an extra lens for even more versatility.  I could easily have gotten another year out of the helmet, but my father wanted it for snow blowing since it is warm and provides a nice face shield.

One issue I did have with this helmet system was snow entering the top of the lens on powder days.  This never happened in the east since the snow flakes are a bit larger, but in Colorado it was an issue on a few days per year.  Keep in mind that I skied over 300 days with this helmet, so a few days was not a deal breaker. 

If you are in the market for a new helmet or goggles, definitely take this system into consideration.  It functions well, and looks pretty good when the lens is down!

Dolphin Turns – The Hows and the Whys

Image
Dolphin turns are a great movement pattern for advanced to expert skiers who want to improve their performance in the bumps.  What dolphin turns provide is ability to manipulate fore/aft pressure along the length of the skis, ski snow contact at transition, and an ideal body movement pattern for flying through the air. I like to think about the general movement pattern for dolphin turns as a reverse bicycle pedal, and this is typically how you will see them introduced.  Using one foot, you would slide one ski forward while picking up the tip and pushing down on the tail.  Now pull the knee toward the body, and ski off of the ground.  With knee picked up, push the tip of the ski into the snow by pulling the foot back under or behind the body using a flexion of the knee.  This is the movement pattern you will want to perform with both skis at the transition of the turns.  Practice moving your feet through this circular movement pattern se...
