Any park skier wear pads?

I personally don't.I had a buddy last season where a back-brace. He loved it and it saved him from some pretty nasty falls.

Compression shorts are worthless and usually cost a lot of money. They don't protect your tail bone very well - typically just thighs.

I know some people wear mouth guards and absolutely swear by them. I'm gonna spend more time this season going ham sauce on rails so I might pick one up when I try new things. I don't want no missing teeth from biting on a handrail

I know you can also get gloves with built in wrist braces to protect your wrist from breaking on impact. I would typically say that's meant more for snowboarders only because of the way they fall (forward or backward and break falls with arms).
 
I wore a POC spine protector one season and loved it. It was super comfy and I didnt notice it was there. Defienty saved me on a few falls big time. I tried wearing compression shorts but hated them.
 
I ride park and wear hip/butt pads by red under my pants. I also have a spine protector but i really only wear that when im out west when there is a chance i can hit rocks. There are a lot of pros that are rocking back protection too, you just cant see it under there jackets.
 
I'de be willing to argue it would save you're teeth from chipping if you impacted a rail or chomped down pretty hard.
 
your definitely right, although the main purpose of the guard is to prevent concussions, if you ever look at the packaging of the mouth guard 9 times out of 10 there's some sort of a dental warranty for chipped teeth or anything having to do with the teeth really
 
im sure that most of the girl skiers wear Pads

I rock a football girdle from sports mart, that just has hip and butt bone pads. I feel pretty comfortable wearing it because im used to compression shorts its jus tlike compression shorts with built in pads
 
i had a custom mouth guard made when my braces got taken off, which was only like $20 but if your not getting your braces off it costs like $70 so im stoked
