These wood trainers are the answer for teaching small children to ski the easy way! Detachable stabilizing ropes at the tip and tail that securely hold the skis the proper distance apart to ensure control and confidence when learning.

The child holds one end of the rope while the parent holds the opposite handle while in the boats. If the child falls, simply let go of the handle to prevent any injuries. This gives the parent more control over a safe ski lesson for beginners. For children ages 3 to 6 up to 80 lbs.
