i need to get a slalom ski for my girl. she gets up on boom with three foot line on my ski , but the boot is just too big and the ski is too much to handle. our kid trainers do not have one that has a double boot. i would like to avoid buying another trainer and just get one she can ski on for the next five years or so. she wears a kids 3 shoe. any suggestions please.

I would start to look at a slightly too big womens slalom ski. She will grow into it. If you are looking at something that will last for 4 or 5 years, that means an adjustable boot(s). This might be a compromise, a better fitted binding may help her ski better. But that probably will mean a binding change before five years. You would not expect her to stay in one pair of shoes, for five years, would you?
If you have a well equipped water sports dealer near by, they might have a demo program where you can try different skis, and the deposit, or rental on the skis you try applies to the purchase of the ski.
Try White Lake Marine. I do not know if they sell water skis.
Overton's , Barts, Lake Elmo Sports, and many other places sell water skis, also. -
Check wileyski.com They have been making wrap bindings and rear toe plates for a long time. This spring I spoke with Darren about slalom ski for kids he said a 61 - 62" ski (for my 11 year old). From my good experience with them I know they'll work with you to get the right fit. Check their web site and then contact or call, I personally would call Darren before going to another etailer.2010 Super Air Nautique 210 Team EditionComment

How much difference will the right ski make in how much she enjoys it? Do you have other kids (your own, friends, nieces, nephews...) coming up behind her who could benefit?Comment

Whitelake doesn't sell ski's. They leave it to the marina across the road.Originally posted by DanielC View Post
I second the other selections above. Overton's is local so that's where I go but I've had good experience with Lake Elmo too.Comment
