Is it ok to use a rock climbing helmet for snow skiing and snowboarding?
It depends on the helmet.
Here’s a link to the Petzl website to use as an example.

Something like the Meteor or Elios helmets could be used for both climbing and snowsports since they have a foam liner which will absorb the force from a head-vs-object collision as well as the force from a dropped object such as a rock or piece of hardware. Few helmet manufacturers make a true multi-sport helmet that will work for skiing and climbing and if you do get injured using a climbing helmet while skiing they may say that the helmet wasn’t designed for that sport, but if you need head protection and can’t afford two helmets, a climbing helmet is better than no helmet at all.
A helmet like the Ecrin Rock is designed only to protect the head from falling objects or light bumps in caves or under overhanging rock. It has no foam to cushion the head in the event of impact.
