Stein Eriksen is interviewed in today’s Salt Lake Tribune, and we learn that the octogenarian ski racer has finally taken steps to protect his lustrous hair with a helmet. The change came at the urging of his wife after a kid shot out of the woods and broke Stein’s wrist and collarbone a couple years back.
“Idon’t really like it, but they say you get used to it. I feel a little confined, a little trapped in there,” he said. “When I went to a meeting at Snow Park Lodge last winter, I left my skis and poles outside and hung my helmet on the skis. I went inside hoping someone would steal it.”
Unfortunately no one did. But if you see the guy’s lid at Deer Valley, do him a favor and take it off his hands.

They should ban snow boarders so accidents like that don’t happen.
yes, all of those pesky snowboarders at deer valley are causing so many problems…
Deer Valley doesn’t allow snowboarders. Doesn’t say it was there, but if that’s his hill of choice, then it probably was there. Ban stupid people. Just because most of them are snowboarders, doesn’t mean they all should get a bad rap. I’m a skier.
