We have a kid in our ski club who is 8. He is easily the best skier in the club and will make the Canadian Olympic team (his dad did). The kid is a total natural and is amazing to watch.
He sleeps in his race suit… he is on skis 4 days a week and will get in +/-80 days of race training this year.
My kids are great skiers, but not on the same level as this kid. At 6 years old, he preran one of our U16 races and was faster than half the field.
On the upside, my 11yo son, Clay did get on his GS skis at training for the first time today and loved them. These are 5cm longer than my wife’s skis…
