In a recent ski trip to Aspen, Kim Kardashian sparked some controversy among fans when she was photographed without a helmet while riding a chairlift with her sister, Khloé Kardashian. Kim, who is known for her skiing skills, faced criticism from fans who believed that she should have been wearing proper head protection.
The images captured Kim and Khloé enjoying their time on the slopes at Buttermilk Mountain Resort. Kim was seen sporting an all-black ski outfit, including Anon M2 MFI ski goggles and Victoria Beckham leather ski bibs and jacket. The caption on her Instagram post simply read, 'ASPEN,' indicating the snowy location of their adventure. Khloé, on the other hand, not only wore a helmet but also posed with a full motorcycle helmet that featured built-in Bluetooth cat-ear speakers.
Fans quickly noticed that Kim was not wearing a helmet in the photo and voiced their concerns in the comments section of her Instagram post. Some fans suggested that wearing a helmet would have made the picture 'sexier,' while others straightforwardly requested her to wear one. However, a source close to Kim clarified that she does regularly wear a helmet while skiing and that it was likely taken off for the photo opportunity.
This incident is not the first time the Kardashian family has shared their ski trips on social media. Back in 2018, Kim posted pictures of herself on the slopes while wearing a helmet. Captioning the post with 'Fun Fact — I can ski,' she showcased her skiing skills and emphasized the importance of safety.
Aspen seems to be a favorite destination for the Kardashian family when it comes to hitting the ski slopes. However, they have also been spotted on ski trips around the world, including Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and Deer Valley, Utah.
In another photo from their Aspen getaway, Khloé shared a picture on Instagram where she was seen in a bikini and fur coat, without a helmet this time. She captioned the picture, 'It's giving mob wife vibes....Faux mob wife of course,' adding a touch of humor to her snowy ensemble.
While the controversy surrounding Kim's lack of a helmet may have stirred conversation among fans, it is important to remember that safety should always be a priority when engaging in winter sports. Wearing a helmet can greatly reduce the risk of head injuries and should be a standard practice for skiers and snowboarders of all skill levels.
As the Kardashians continue to document their adventures on social media, it is hoped that they will lead by example and promote safe practices while enjoying their time on the slopes. Skiing can be a thrilling and enjoyable activity, but it's crucial to prioritize safety to ensure a fun and accident-free experience for everyone involved.
