Update - Taken by Leo. Cheers.




Happy to send this on to the next grom, please just cover the cost of shipping.

Coat is size girl's size 8. It's navy (hard to tell in pics).

It's pretty well insulated - good every day jacket as well as for the hill. Two internal mesh stow pockets, one hidden zip pocket inside, one chest pocket. The hood won't go over helmets very well but it does detach. It has a powder skirt.

Only real defect is that the coat hook loop is busted on one side (which is weird since she's never hung up a coat in her life). There's a very slight fading as you can tell it's been washed a few times. On upside, it's been washed a few times.

It has the grow cuff which has NOT been used yet and will add an extra 1.5" to the sleeve. Definitely good for two or three more seasons.

Can anybody recommend a good junior ski binding for girls ages 11 and 13? Weight is 67 and 90 pounds respectively. Skis are 86 and 95 mm wide so it would be nice if the brake width was capable of matching that. They both ski the double blacks with me although not super aggressively. Thanks for any help.

[~mikey b]

My son skis Marker M7. I've bent brakes to fit wider skis. I might even have a set or two for sale - one with demo plate and one without.

[teledad]

Sounds like around a 3-4 DIN. I'd look for a junior binding that supports 2-7 DIN. I like the Salomon L7 for that range, seems a bit more solid than the Marker. Make sure you get a binding that accepts a junior norm toe if that's what you have (most boots below around 22 or 23 mondo are junior). Junior bindings will generally work with either junior or adult toes.

[~mikey b]

Yeah Owen also skis a Look 7 on one ski I think it's the same as the Salomon. The Rossignol Comp Jr stuff is good too.

[yeahman]

Thanks for the help! Just ordered two of the Salomon L7s because the brake width comes in a 90mm, a little wider than the Markers (74). Should work fine for both pair of skis.

These are the first skis I've ever bought for them--we've always done the season lease thing from the local ski hill, and it's a good deal, but I just think they've outgrown the selection offered there and need something more performance-oriented. Still planning to lease the boots, though, because if they don't fit there is always the option of exchanging them for a different size.

[JPaul]

Yeahman,

Glad you got things sorted.

You can skip the diatribe below.

Cheers,
Paul


===My afternoons work below===

My daughter has had good luck with Salomon T5 for very similar usage as yours over the past several years:
- 13-yr old now, has used since she was 9
- 90-105 lbs
- all mountain skier, not particularly aggressive but fairly tall (weight up high)
- has been reliable through feast and famine snow years in North Tahoe area (read: hardpack/ice through bottomless snow)
- Kicking down from the 13-yo to the 10-yo next season ;-)

The T5 is DIN 0.5-4.5. Well, it was -> doesn't seem to be available new anymore, but looks a lot like the Quadrax on the Armadas above, and seems to have been also badged as Dynastar and Look models. L7 range is current replacement?

Confirming teledad's comment above, 3-4 DIN is about where the binding is set (definitely not at Max =4.5). Will be a while before she is skiing at 7 DIN IMO, so I wouldn't be set on that as a requirement, instead I'd let weight/cost drive the decision.

Good luck!
Paul

The L7's are nice and light as well.

[yeahman]

Yeah, it seems like the L7s should last them a few years, even though right now they are at the lower end of the weight scale.

They are pretty psyched to have their own skis. I got the 13 year old some Line Sick Day Shorty's, which are a little fatter and will hopefully suit her more smeary style of turning; and the 11 year old some Volkl Mantra Jr.'s, which are a little narrower and will hopefully suit her more carvy style. We shall see. The new skis sure look cool--I almost wish I could ski them! lol

But thanks everybody for the input.

Anybody have a scoop on where to find kids length adjustable poles? We have an older pair of k2 branded, which we bought at the local shop for something like $30. I need a second pair.

I have a pair of BD First Strike kids' adjustable poles for sale. Very good condition. $40 shipped.



No my old Tonka dump truck is not for sale.

Still have the Langes? My nephew might be interested. Would these be ok for an intermediate kid or are they pretty race oriented? I don't know anything about kids boots.
