OK I need official word on this. Skiing with a fatigue cap and a nordic visor - ear flaps folded outside or in?
Need to know soonest. Embarrassment maximum.

Then there are the ones who use their hands to shield their eyes from the sun because they have their hat on backwards.
Hmmmm....Baseball style caps should have hard and fast rules
1) NO flat brims
...
4) As mentioned above, the hat worn so far back/up is a NO-NO
Why? Makes no sense. You need different glasses perhaps that fit inside the helmet. I use sunglasses with goggles up on the helmet. I get told how dorky it is. But you can use dark glasses then switch to light goggles for when it gets stormy. Or dark glasses inside goggles when it's super bright. (Weird, but can work) Abasin in May has such a range of weather and absurdly bright high altitude, 11k +, sun.One of the things that wearing helmet has done for me is it made me give up skiing in sunglasses. I have used goggles for years but always liked sunglasses a little better. Since I started using a helmet I never went back to skiing with sunglasses. Now I would not ski without a helmet, basically it is because of the NITWITS on the mountain.
I'm ashamed to say it looks like someone at a Cubs game
Hey, best protection from the kids' wayward skis and poles - and as mentioned above, inconsiderate lift riders slamming the bar down with no notice whatsoever.My wife @skichickee made me get a helmet a few years ago. I said "Ok but I'm just gonna go faster and do dumber stuff..."

Agreed. I hate hats and never wear them cuz I look like more of a dork than usual. And as poorly as I ski a helmet is very useful. I just need someone to make one with a mouthguard now.My helmet is the most comfortable and practical ski hat I've ever worn. I don't miss the old days one bit.
Don't worry, you'll either get older or bash your brains against a tree; either way you'll stop caring about what other people think.And that stupid Kennedy offspring for making ski helmets so mandatory that people shame you for free skiing without one...
