call you later, Dad.
(and my first reaction was: of course you do :))
Have some 67cm Rossi Princess skis with fish scale bases. White with pink & purple flourishes. Great shape considering the duty they served. They helped my two girls get comfortable on the snow and are looking for a new home. No binders. Also have some mondo size 14.5 rear entry Technica Racer boots. Blue, great shape. Same story: Help this stuff find a useful home. Trades preferred; otherwise free for the taking. Local Denver deals very much preferred. PM me if interested.
^^those are great skis^^
the scales are awesome
Got a pair of junior skis with junior bindings. Head XRC 147cm. They're in great condition. Located in Whistler. Free if you cover shipping. Send a PM if you're interested.
Had a craigslist ad up from before which has pics:

EDIT: Skis are gone.
Wondering what most people do for the very first season. My little guy is 20months, big feet - about size 8 which is mondo point size 15. Planning to do a little toodling around in the springtime and some backyard stuff before then if it snows in Vancouver.
My question - is it a waste of time to go with the 40$ plastic skis from Mountain Coop? I figure that the cheap plastic ones might be a good place to start for this year - he'll barely be 2 yrs so I have no plans to overdo it. Also if there is anyone with old gear kicking around in the Vancouver area (for really little ones) let me know.

the plastic, strap-on skis are great to start with - we did that with our son at 16 months - those 67cm Rossi skis that ienjoydrinking beer has are the next step - get both and get boots - you'll be glad you did when your kid is ready to move up - it's only December - it's a long season and your kid will probably get better - ours (now 4.5 years) went from the plastic skis to real skis in 2-3 months - he still uses the plastic jobbers for tooling around the compound when we get snow at the house
ski the babies!
PM Sent on little Rossi's and 14.5 boots from drinkbeer
Ditto, my kid loved hers and she got out a lot on them. Helped her balance on skis. Plus they are fun for the kid, gets em used to having things on your feet and sliding.Quote:

Got some red Rossi 18.5 rear entry's in good shape...
Preference to PDX mags, those I've done business with or long time mags...
have 11 year old daughter in need of your jacket.
first-timer, if you recieve this message, i am looking for the 12 year olds blue /white ob. jacket. thanks:):)
If you are looking for something even cooler, check out the toddler skis on SlideWright. Same concept and same binding, but a great looking wooden ski. I'm not big on the holidays, but I know what mommy's like, and these skis would make Owen's mommy happy. 70cm = $60.Quote:

Those look way nicer than the MEC PBA version.
FS: Pair of twins 130cm Solomon Fish. Used maybe two seasons with marker holes. - GONE
I am looking for kids boots Mondo 19.5 and 18.5...Thanks in advance!
Great idea, Buzz. I can't believe I'm just seeing this thread.
Gonna take my 3 year old out this Spring. I'd like to see what I can put together before then. Particularly, I'd like to get her used to the boots well in advance of actually going.
Anybody got some tiny boots (toddler 8-9) they want to share/sell/donate? I'm also interested in skis/bindings and poles.
Edit: And, if I'm moving too fast with "real" boots and skis for a 3-4 year old, I'd appreciate any advice on a better solution.
some friends just gave me a couple of pairs of small skis to pass on - both are free + shipping
1. some older, beat up 70cm Fischers w/ Salomon binders - I do not know the history, but these have clearly been several kids' first skis - perfect for a toddler - bindings adjust to fit multiple size boots - gone to bagtagley
2. a bit newer 90cm Salomon Crossmax jr skis and binders - well used, but in good condition - GONE to jimmyawesome
happy to pass these on to some future Mags - have fun kids - ski fast, take chances
PM sent on the Crossmax.
By 4 my daughter was in real boots and real skis.Quote:

The mags are such a cool group. This is a great thread. Will be back if my nephew takes up the sport. We are going to get lessons and have him try it this season. Carry on the spirit
