That would be interesting to investigate. I'd be concerned that the ski helmet is heavier than a bike helmet, however. The best winter bicycle helmet I've run across is the Bell Metro. With half of the cold kit inside (just the vent plugs not the ear muffs), the helmet is almost too hot for me even at subfreezing temperatures.
