Kneissl Bigfoot little
Hi
Does anyone have any experience of these? I can't find much info online but they look great for little kids. I'm wondering if my 4 year old daughter could use them. Kneissl's website isn't even finished yet. TIA for any helpful comments Tim |

Kneissl's website isn't even finished yet. TIA for any helpful comments Tim I personally would wait until the child is old enough/big enough to fit into a *real* ski with a release binding. Say, age *three*? There's a whole national program that centers on three year olds and skiing in the U.S. I know of kids who've suffered injuries up to and including spiral fractures from the use of "snowblades" with non release bindings. The whole justification of these various non release binding "blades" is that they are too short to cause injury to a person of a particular size in a fall. My opinion is that they are never safe. I also know of adults who have suffered injuries while using them, fractures included. Your child needs real equipment, which you'd probably be best to rent, perhaps a whole season package, or trip by trip. For that matter, buy a package that includes a whole morning of lessons for your child, along with skis, etc. Many include some kind of lunch as well. Then you can bust up all the good stuff all morning, and have fun with the kids in the afternoon. |
