How to choose children's skis.

Your child is taking his or her first steps on skis, from the ski kindergarten facility to the very first slopes. They start to slide down a very gentle slope. It’s time for the snow plough and their very first turns. They learn to go down green slopes while controlling their speed so that they can stop.

A child who is just starting out will need skis that are light, stable and easy to handle.

Your child is progressing well. They know how to stop, master snowplough turns and they are starting to ski parallel. Like grown-ups, now they can start using the ski lifts and chairlifts! They’re able to tackle the blue slopes and are starting to go down the red slopes.

At this stage, they’ll need slightly stiffer skis than those of a beginner, with better grip.

Your child has mastered parallel turns, and knows how to find their footing to cut corners at sustained speed. They’re not afraid of tackling the red slopes, and the black slopes are somewhat a possibility now!

Their skis must be more rigid, and grip on hard snow while ensuring stability.

Ski boots are a crucial piece of equipment for young skiers. They ensure the feet are comfortable and well-supported while skiing, allowing the skis to be guided, while they also play a thermal insulation role against the cold. 
However, poor adjustment between the child’s boot and the foot can turn skiing days into an absolute nightmare. So how do you choose the perfect kids’ ski boot? We explain in the article below.

Ski poles may not be necessary during the learning phase. They can even be unwieldy for children, who already have to concentrate on their skis before managing to use their poles the right way. But as soon as they start to become comfortable on their skis and mastering the movements, ski poles are highly recommended. They allow for improved balance, and the adoption of a better posture to allow them to progress.
If your budding skier can handle poles, we advise the telescopic option. Adjustable, they grow with the child, and can thus be used for several winters.

It goes without saying that the ski helmet is by far the most important accessory for a young skier. Once their head is protected and their safety secured, they can enjoy their day of skiing with total peace of mind. There are several factors to consider when aiming to choose the best one: shape, with or without a visor, size... How do you make the right choice? We’ll explain everything!
