I Got these second hand unmounted babies for my 3 year old.
Sidecut 60-52-56
110cm long
Waxless base
Surprising amount of tip and tail rocker
Very low camber
Kind of for laughs, but it's Åsnes so I hope I get a free pass, and everyone starts somewhere right?

That looks much better than some other brand toddler skis my oldest started on.CwmRaider wrote: ↑Fri Sep 22, 2023 6:54 amI Got these second hand unmounted babies for my 3 year old.

The ones I got her had a taller camber, and a frustratingly short fishscale pattern.
Those really long fishscales on the Snowman skis you have should make them less frustrating for your kid.
Enjoy!

Very cool mon ami!
Master parent points for getting a touring ski for your 3-year-old- not an easy thing to accomplish. In my limted experience most childrten's Nordic touring skis are crap, and are way too cambered and stiff for BC Nordic touring.
Watch for the Mountain Tour Jr on sale- that would be the next ski for your child!

Cross-country AND down-hill skiing in the backcountry.
Unashamed to be a "cross-country type" and love skiing down-hill.
