"Is your family planning some skiing or snowboarding this spring? Sounds like fun -- but what&amp;#039;s not so fun is that every year, accidents on the slopes are a leading cause of debilitating head injuries. The best protection for you and your family? A helmet. Brands to look for: Giro and Leedom -- all models ($110 to $130) from both manufacturers meet existing safety standards and are popular choices on the slopes.   One family from Brooklyn, New York, is leading a fight for helmet requirements. Brent and Mary Porter created an advocacy group after their daughter Christina suffered severe brain damage in an accident last year. Now they&amp;#039;re working toward mandatory helmet use at ski areas and among school teams. They&amp;#039;re also lobbying Congress for legislation (for details, go to thechristinafund.com).
