Poster: A snowHead
|
I’m looking at getting my daughter 2nd hand skis.
She is 7. 126cm tall and 26kgs. And a novice. She has done 2 weeks on snow in the mountains and several sessions at the Snow Centre in Hemel.
Her old skis were Frozen themed and 104cm.
What would you recommend? Length or manufacturer? Or is it all much of a muchness?
Any good places to get used kids skis? Other than eBay
Does anyone have something to sell?!
TIA.

I've got some old atomic 115cm Race 10 kids skis. Possibly a bit heavy/overspec (full wood core kids SL race ski) but might do the job.
You can have them for free if you collect from Essex, or London (City).

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I've got a pair of atomic punx skis that my youngest has outgrown, I think that that they have 3 days skiing on them so they are essentially brand new...... I think they were about £180 I bought them 13 months ago.... you can have them for £80..... they have integrated bindings etc..... I think that they are 110cm......

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

My kids first skis were similar (second hand from Ski Bartlett) and I think they got off to a great start with technique on them - learned to carve very quickly!

Yep, my kids loved them. They've been through 2 kids and at least 12 weeks snow + 2 yrs plastic, so there's not much edge left, hence why I'm giving them away. The undiscounted retail price was about £400 in today's money - for a kids ski!
