opted for Kleo the Tiger.

members of a famous family wearing her creations. “I’m so flattered and pleased
that Heidi Klum and Seal chose to adorn their beautiful children with our
helmet covers. But if I ever met Heidi, I’d have to ask why she was not wearing
a helmet (with a crazeeHeads helmet cover) too.”

including three newest styles - Zoe the Zebra, Pickles the Alligator, and
Cupid. All are beautifully crafted in soft polyester with cotton linings and

Vail Resorts Makes Helmets Mandatory for Employees and for Children’s Group Ski and Ride Lessons Rental Packages
Beginning with the 2009-2010 winter season, all Company employees will be required to wear helmets when skiing or riding on the job at each of its five mountain resorts: Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone and Heavenly. Helmets will be provided to every employee as part of their standard uniform for working on the mountain. This new initiative is part of Vail Resorts’ overall commitment to skier and snowboarder safety programs.
“At Vail Resorts, the safety of our employees and guests is a top priority and we believe the time has come for us to take our commitment to safety to the next level. Our employees will set the example next year for all who enjoy skiing and riding our slopes,” said John Garnsey, co-president of Vail Resorts’ Mountain Division and chief operating officer of Beaver Creek Resort.
In addition, all children ages 12 and under who participate in a group lesson through one of its five resorts’ ski and ride schools will be required to wear a helmet. A helmet will also become a required part of any child’s (ages 12 and under) ski and snowboard rental package offered at all of Vail Resorts’ retail and rental outlets, unless a parent or legal guardian signs a waiver that declines use of the equipment.
“We firmly believe when children are participating in our ski and ride school programs that we must provide them with the proper equipment that promotes enjoyment of the sport while also reducing the possibility of injury. Even though we will now require children in our ski and ride schools to wear helmets and make them a mandatory part of every child’s rental package, we strongly recommend the use of helmets for all of our guests, regardless of their age or ability level,” said Blaise Carrig, co-president of Vail Resorts’ Mountain Division and chief operating officer of Heavenly Mountain Resort.

crazeeHeads Animal And Quilted Helmet Covers for Skiers, Snowboarders, and Ice Skaters Are Stylish and Promote Safety
The Today Show’s Meredith Vieira Tops Her Helmet with crazeeHeads' Black Quilted Helmet Cover for Ice Skating Lesson With Peggy Fleming
For Winter sports lovers, crazeeHeads (www.crazeeheads.com) has 15 styles of helmet covers, including eight plush animal models. For kids, the crazeeHeads adorable animal helmet covers includes a snow leopard, koala, panda, monkey, pig, and many other fun-loving characters. Not just for kids, crazeeHeads also offers stylish quilted models and faux animal skin models for adults.
On a recent Today Show segment, Olympic Gold Medalist Peggy Fleming gave Meredith Vieira an ice skating lesson. And to make sure she was safe, she also gave her a helmet topped with a crazeeHeads black quilted cover.
All crazeeHeads helmet covers are constructed of machine washable polyester with a cotton lining. A clever drawstring feature makes every style easy to adjust for most size helmets (from a child’s XXS to adults XXL), and all can be worn with goggles.
Helmets for skiers, snowboarders, and ice skaters are becoming increasing popular to protect against head injuries. The Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends that winter sports lovers wear helmets to reduce head injury risk. Some European resorts sell discounted lift tickets for pre-teens and teenagers who wear helmets, and some give free lift tickets to youngsters skiing with a parent while wearing a helmet. In addition, Italy and Spain insist that children wear helmets, and Austria may soon do the same.
"If a child resists wearing a helmet, parents can easily overcome their reluctance by wearing a helmet themselves, and buying crazeeHeads for the entire family," said Margaret Spiegel, President, crazeeHeads, inc. “I love seeing a family of pandas or raccoons swooping down the slopes or on the skating rink knowing that everyone is having a ball and also better protected from injury.”
Suggested retail prices for the crazeeHeads’ plush animal helmet covers are $34.99 - $36.99; embroidered velvet is $27.99; quilted nylons are $26.99; and faux animal skins are $23.99.
crazeeHeads are sold worldwide through retailers and distributors in the USA, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Europe, and can be purchased online at www.crazeeheads.com or by calling 1-866-4-CRAZEE (866-427-2933).

crazeeHeads® launches Kookie the Koala, Poppi the Pig, and Zippy the Snow Leopard at Snowsports Industries of America (SIA) for Fun and Safety on the Slopes
Plush helmet covers offer protection and smiles
crazeeHeads, inc., manufacturers of a complete line of helmet covers for skiers and snowboarders, launches three new styles of plush helmet covers at SIA, January 22-25, 2007 at Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV. Kookie the Koala, Poppi the Pig, and Zippy the Snow Leopard (available in Fall 2007) join Lexi the Lion, Benny the Raccoon and other colorful characters as the most playful headgear covers to be seen in on the slopes.
All crazeeHeads helmet covers are high-quality and beautifully crafted in soft, machine washable polyester with cotton lining. All crazeeHeads are adjustable and fit effortlessly over helmets of all sizes. The plush and playful animal covers, for kids and fun-loving adults, have realistic eyes and Kookie the Koala and Poppi the Pig even sport squeaky noses. For those who prefer sophistication over silliness, crazeeHeads also come in leopard, snake, zebra, and cow faux animal skins and quilted black and white nylon that coordinate with any ski outfit.
“Our helmet covers make safety fun for snow sports enthusiasts of all ages,” said Margaret Spiegel, President, crazeeHeads, inc. “It’s great to see these furry animals flying down the mountain knowing that the wearers are also better protected from injury.”
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends that skiers and snowboarders wear helmets to reduce the risk of head injuries. Sports enthusiasts are taking heed as helmet utilization in the U.S. has increased approximately 5-percent per year for the past several years. In the United States each year more than 17,000 children ages five to 14 are treated in hospital emergency rooms for snow skiing-related injuries, and nearly 23,000 are treated for snowboarding-related injuries. Recent research has shown that the use of helmets reduces the incidence of less serious head injury by 30-50 percent (e.g., scalp lacerations, mild concussions and contusions of the head) and many resorts strongly recommend children under age 12 wear helmets in ski classes.
Whether ripping the powder out West or skiing the uneven terrain caused by warmer conditions in the North, wearing a helmet is an important element of snowsport safety. Varied terrain comes with challenges that can lead to injury so it’s best to be prepared for anything that could arise.
crazeeHeads makes snow sport safety fun at a reasonable price. Plush Animal Helmet Covers retail for $31.99 - $34.99 (Kookie, and Poppi); Quilted versions for $26.99; and faux animal skins for $23.99. Be safe and silly; switch styles depending on your mood with the many options offered by crazeeHeads.

FIVE TIPS TO KEEP KIDS SAFE ON THE SLOPES FROM CRAZEEHEADS.COM
Consumer Product Safety Commission Study Shows 53% of Kid’s Head Injuries are Avoidable by Use of a Helmet–
Port Washington, NY, January 12, 2006—To keep kids safe on the ski slopes while skiing and snowboarding, the experts at crazeeHeads (www.crazeeHeads.com) offered these five tips for National Ski Safety Week (Jan. 16-21), sponsored by the National Ski Areas Association:
* Use a helmet designed specifically for skiing or snowboarding
* Make sure that the helmet fits properly and comfortably
* Try it on while wearing goggles, as different goggles and helmets work together differently
* Make sure a qualified person at a ski or snowsport store fits the helmet, to find the helmet that fits your child’s head
* Use foam inserts to facilitate the fit if the helmet is too large
* Wear a helmet that meets industry standards, such as CEN, ASTM and Snell, to ensure safety
* Personalize helmets to help make them cool and desirable to wear, with products such as crazeeHeads’ cute animal ski helmet covers
* Serve as a role model for kids, as the adult, and also wear a helmet
In studies conducted by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), it was shown that helmets can significantly protect children and adults against head injuries and even death. The CPSC study showed that for children under 15 years of age, 53 percent of head injuries (approximately 2,600 of the 4,950 head injuries annually) are addressable by use of a helmet. Based on a review of skiing and snowboarding-related death certificates, 11 deaths per year solely attributed to head injuries might be prevented by use of helmets, according to the CPSC.
“It’s clear that helmets help protect kids against head injuries. And, our helmet covers encourage kids to wear their helmets because they feel cool. They also make it easier for parents and others to spot kids on the slopes,” explained Margaret Spiegel, President of crazeeHeads. “We also suggest that parents wear a helmet, because they serve as role models, to encourage their kids to wear helmets.”
The ski helmet covers, with the look of a stuffed animal, are made by crazeeHeads (www.crazeeHeads.com) of soft polyester with realistic eyes and come with cotton linings. In addition, they fit over helmets of all sizes, with a drawstring adjustment feature.
crazeeHeads (www.crazeeHeads.com) offers a full line of animal helmet covers including a lion, raccoon, monkey, panda and tiger ($31.99). For adults, it offers additional options: leopard, snake, zebra and cow faux animal skin helmet covers ($23.99), along with quilted black and white nylon helmet covers that coordinate well with most ski parkas ($26.99).

Ski Helmets Keep Kids Safe On Slopes; Animal Helmet Covers Keep
Them in Style
Next time you’re skiing, don’t be alarmed if you see a raccoon or lion next to you on the slopes. Chances are, it’ll be a child wearing an animal ski helmet cover, a way for kids to protect themselves from head injuries and look cool at the same time.
The ski helmet covers, with the look of a stuffed animal, are made by crazeeHeads (www.crazeeHeads.com) of soft polyester with realistic eyes and come with cotton linings. In addition, they fit over helmets of all sizes, with a drawstring adjustment feature.
"While safety is our top concern, our helmet covers are also for people who want to coordinate their helmet with a specific outfit and to create a unique look on the slopes," says crazeeHeads president Margaret Spiegel. "Often times, a whole family wears the same helmet cover, such as a raccoon, to stand out on the slopes."
The Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends that skiers and snowboarders wear helmets to reduce the risk of head injuries. More than 17,000 children in the U.S. ages 5-14 are treated in hospital emergency rooms for skiing-related injuries, and nearly 23,000 are treated for snowboarding injuries.
Helmets are becoming increasingly common at resorts. At Aspen-Snowmass (which includes Aspen, Snowmass, Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk), helmets are mandatory for children ages under 12 while participating in ski or snowboard lessons, unless the parent or guardian signs a waiver.
"By wearing a ski helmet and cover, kids and adults can play safe and look smart,” said Spiegel. “We also suggest that parents wear helmets, because they serve as role models to encourage their kids to wear helmets.”
The latest crazeeHeads designs are raccoon and lion helmet covers ($31.99). The company offers additional animal helmet covers, including a monkey, panda and tiger ($31.99). For adults, it offers additional options: leopard, snake, zebra and cow faux animal skin helmet covers ($23.99), along with quilted black and white nylon helmet covers that coordinate well with most ski parkas ($26.99).
