@Ghost963 I've actually been skiing in Japan (wonder how many people here can say that...) and almost nobody besides little kids wears helmets there either. So no, it's not just an 'American' thing.
Helmet use is a lot more common in Europe, sure, but it's hardly universal. I've never skied in Australia but you always see Australians on the slopes around the world (they really seem to get around) and none of them wear helmets either.
