Would a set of twin-tip skis be a good or bad thing for a beginning child skiier?

Default Cool. Take your time with the bag. Aspen (the resort) looked good from the outside.

We did a hut trip, and didn't hit the resort.

Default Really

She turns 3 soon, last season was on plastic skis because <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/rockymtn/msgs/58408.phtml">ski boots aren't made small enough</a> to fit her feet. This season she's able to get by with tiny ski boots.

Default In Salt Lake, you can rent a package for $350 through Utah Ski & Golf . . .

the package covers kids through 140 size skis. The package cover skis and boots, and you can change sizes as often as you wish. I started my son (now 3) on 80s last winter. He is still on the same size, but I'm sure by next season I will need to change. I figure that with one change in size I will make up the package price. The store gets lots of customers from out of town who come in specifically for this rental package. I agree with the other posters--at this age, cost is everything.

Default in that case . . .

go ahead and buy if you get such a great deal, but i would stay away from the twin tips just because a true beginner ski is going to turn a bit more easily than a twin tip. they're also a bit fatter, not that she'll need them for pow, but it gives the little ones a bit more surface area to balance on. i'd give such a youngster every advantage. at two years old her bones and muscles are practically changing weekly, no reason to give her a ski she might have to fight against. by the time she's good enough to want to start skiing switch and doing some serious park stuff she'll have out grown 5 pairs of skis anyway!

good luck, see ya on the hill!
