I've gotten my kids up skiing about the age of 2. 2 is a the perfect age to start. They will only go for about 10 mins at a time and need lots of positive response. Then put them in a backpack or sled and ski on your own.
Bring lots of sweet trail mix. Make skiing = good snacks :)
Discard the poles. The kid will just use them to hit the snow and anyone around them.
Of course keep them very warm with good clothes.
With boots they can use this: http://www.amazon.com/Lucky-Bums-Beginner-Poles-Green/dp/B000WSEA0Q
Have fun!!!
First off, none of theses questions are dumb, I had many of the same when I was first starting to wax and I wish Reddit had been around back then to answer them.
Hope this helps.
Hello,
Professional amateur rollerskier here:
Step 1. Pick up some rollerski specific carbide steel tips such as these
Step 2. Use them and keep those tips SHARP! So many people do not sharpen their tips before they go out to their detriment.
For sharpening I reccomend buying a dremel tool such as this and then using these tips
Step 3. Sharpen often! In my opinion, it is better to sharpen a little bit every time than a lot every once in a while.
I hope this has been helpful!
Thanks for the reply. Forgive me, but what do you mean by prioritizing support? I don't really know if something like this qualifies as "supportive" or not.
I've got a pair of those craft pants (men's version) and have used them the last two years for skiing and biking. They are great! Even during the polar vortex last year when it was -15, I still only need this pair of pants (disclaimer, I tend to run warm when I'm working out and need less clothes than others). They've got a nice windproof panel on the front but are breathable on the back. I would absolutely recommend these for skiing.
My wife has been skiing a couple years now and is looking to upgrade her pants, these are the ones she's looking at getting link 1 link 2 link 3.
As for mixing and matching brands, I don't think anyone is paying attention to that.
I got this one for pretty cheap on Amazon and it works really well! https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0049PJPWG?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_pd_title
Ok. So the binding needs to have a NIS attachment to the ski, and then I can use a NNN compatible boot sole. So would this work?

And then I could use a Salomon prolink NNN boot...?
If you are on a budget, these pants have been solid for me. Last year, I did a long distance race (113km), and it was -34C for the night portion of the race. They kept me plenty warm with a base layer underneath and are not too bulky. The only downside is that the material stiffens up a bit when it is that cold, but on a budget they were more than acceptable.
Yeah, I had the same problem. Anything above freezing and it will ice. I use Easy Glide on the ski bases every time. I didn't want to clog up the skin fur with a liquid wax, so I rub it with a piece of candle. Front to back in the direction of the fur, like you pet a cat. Has worked 100% since I started waxing that way over a couple seasons in all kinds of warm sticky snow.
Did you get the harness locally and the same shop didn't have everything else? We have a local pet supply shop that sells everything you need in the same sectio. As long as you have an appropriate harness and bungee lead, I think you could improvise a belt. Or just get one from Amazon. Sorry, not sure on the brand we have, but the belts we have are similar to this jogging belt: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MD0EZBK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_OfU8BbY32PT3H
