Similar to how waist-high pow for you is chest-high for them, the Icelantic Kids' Scout 85 Ski might be skinny for adults, but it's a fat, freeride floater for children. Since your child won't be joining you on too many parent-sized powder days, the ski's camber underfoot holds a great edge and a solid turn radius for groomer days. Icelantic made the ski out of a light, surprisingly stiff aspen wood core with sidewalls sandwiched between the top sheet and base for long-lasting durability, because your kid is bound to hit a few trees this season.
