Your kid's first experience on the slopes should be fun, easy, and packed full of good memories. That's why Elan made the Kids' Sky QS Ski with EL 4. 5 AC Binding. This forgiving, yet progressive ski was specifically engineered to keep your kid stoked all season. Borrowing technology from modern running shoes, Elan integrated a U-Flex channel throughout the ski, allowing the ski to flex the same way the sole of a shoe does to make the ski 25% softer than a ski of the same length. This makes the ski more forgiving and a whole lot easier to turn. The lightweight Synflex core makes the ski easier to control, while the early rise tip makes turning effortless in various snow conditions so your kid will be carving before you know it.
