Not really a gender divide at that size. Find something small and go for it.
I think I have a 16 boot if you can’t find smaller.

Thread crap do ask how do you know when the little guys need to size up in skis? My 6 yo is using his 90cm sticks that he got last year. Doing well on moderate blue terrain at this point at the most. When should he size up?

My boy just turned 6, and he's been on 100 cm RTMs for the past year in the midwest. He skied on 90s for about a year before that. I just put him on 107 twin tips, and with a more centered mount, they still seem a little on the short side. Depending on mount point, I bet he would do just fine on 100s or even something a bit longer after a few runs. Just keep the 90s around for a little while to see which ones he grabs.

Don’t be in a hurry to size up. I would wait until they can turn in terrain that dictates when and where they turn vs being able to turn wherever/ whenever. My .02

I upped my daughter from 90 to 112 this season (112 is spot-on based on her height) but she struggled on them so a month ago we went back to 90 and she’s skiing much more confidently. Ski the length your son feels good on.

What ever ski they have fun on is the right ski. Try them out, but let them decide.
My kid is 8 and a pretty strong skier riding blacks and doubles. He still resorts to a dynamic wedge / stem Christie when he is lazy, bored and/or starting a run in really steep terrain. He claims he does not know he he is doing this. He took a class last week and when I asked his instructor how to get him to stop she first said tie his knees together. She then said put him on longer skis. The longer the ski, the harder it is to wedge. I moved him from 127 twin tips to 130 race skis and he is wedging way less. And he is having blast cause he is going much faster (faster ski, fewer wedge turns).
Moral: of your kid is still relying on a wedge, keep them short. If they are carving, can’t hurt to try them long.

Friend hooked it up with a 14.5 and tiny ski at the local shop. My needs have been filled. If you’re still hunting there was some micro gear on eBay

Free - Rossignol J Comp bindings - 0.75 - 4.5 DIN, with one extra brake assembly. Missing one screw for the toe piece, which I replaced with one that's close but not an exact match.

Looking for a pair of boots for my nephew, sounds like size 1 if we can get him to hike this spring before his feet grow again. Anyone unloading?

Hey all of you regulars in here with the kids, I live in JH and frequent the coupla thrift stores reguarly. I see a LOT of kids gear. I'd be willing to pick up then hook up mags. Thing is, I got no kids, spend too little time around them. So, I don't know what parents are looking for.
What are always hard to find, first to go type things? Hard goods or soft?
The reason I bring this up is because yesterday i saw a pair of 90cm volkl tigersharks in 8.5/10 condition. W.fancy kid clamps to boot...$5.
Almost bought those on principle.
If I can help, PM me.

^^^those would be picked up pretty quickly around here.
I would say hard goods. Especially small sizes. They are harder to come by. Small boots. Sub 18 Mondo are pretty hot.
Otherwise, once you get up to the 120cm range, most maggot kids are in real skis. Kind of like the kid version of what us adults would want. For instance, the Gotama or Manyra for the kiddos is a rocker, flat, rocker stiffer ski. Race skis are also popular.
The Walmart style ski - formless, forgiving, beginner, what ever skis will Sometimes fill a gap for folks, but most around here are not too interested in those skis.
That would be a sick service. Living away from a ski town it is harder finding decent used kids gear.

Thanks for the info, just what I needed to know. Unfortunately the mini sharks were gone when I went back but I'll be on it better now. Like to hook up the mini-mags...

Hey all. I've got a whole line of kids boots from maybe about 16 to 22 Mondo. I've been cleaning out my garage/ store space this summer and these boots will be going tot he 2nd hand sports shop in a few weeks. If anyone is interested in cheap boots, send me a PM.
Beer Money and Shipping.
Also have a pair of 90cm Atomic Race5(?) skis with maybe a day of use on them. Need to be creative with mounting, as the previous owner seemed to have drilled on heel tree times. Otherwise a great little ski. Bottoms are pristine. Beer money plus shipping.
