A safe bet

People think of padding, and they say, "well I'm not doing anything that I need padding for..." Well, I say why not?
It is comfortable and provides a little extra warmth, but most of all everyone crashes sooner or later. The difference is who will get back up and keep skiing, or who will wake up the next morning wishing they had that little extra protection.
I have been wearing padding for years now, and maybe for the reason of I do need it, but the designs and materials that are being used to make these pads now are malleable or flexible and if anything make sitting on the chairlift more comfortable. I feel naked without it now, but if you plan on pushing the limits, even from your own perspective, protect your body so you can do it again tomorrow.
