Relates to the duties of skiers and ski area operators regarding the use of helmets; requires skiers under age 14 to wear helmets; requires ski area operators to maintain an adequate supply of helmets for sale and rental; requires operators to post signs.

This bill requires all skiers under the age of 14 to wear helmets while skiing. It also mandates that ski area operators provide enough helmets for sale and rental. Additionally, operators must display signs to inform skiers about these helmet requirements.

Supporters of the bill argue that it will enhance safety for young skiers by reducing the risk of head injuries on the slopes. They believe that making helmet use mandatory will encourage a culture of safety in skiing and protect children while they enjoy winter sports.

Critics of the bill may argue that it imposes unnecessary regulations on families and ski area operators. They could contend that it limits personal choice and responsibility, as parents should have the freedom to decide whether their children should wear helmets while skiing.
