By: Forte Creative Media PR To date, LVSSR has provided more than 1,000 free helmets to local kids with more than 300 given out in the 2011/2012 season. Earlier this year, LVSSR received the National Ski Areas Association’ Trained Lids on Kids program volunteers will fit toddlers through pre-teens for a helmet. Children and their parents will participate in a short education program presented by members of National Ski Patrol to learn and understand the skier/snowboarder code of safety and responsibility. There’s no charge for participating in the program and the helmets are the children’s to keep. “The Las Vegas Ski & Snowboard Resort wants to encourage our local youth to explore the outdoors and supply them with the proper tools to do that safely,” said Kevin Stickelman, president and general manager of LVSSR. “The free helmets given out and the education provided with Lids on Kids is a service we are proud to provide to the community.” LVSSR launched the Lids on Kids program locally in the 2006/2007 season on the advisement of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and its report that wearing a helmet while skiing or snowboarding could prevent or reduce the severity of 53 percent of head injuries for those under the age of 15.
