The Defiance Flash Jrs ski package pairs a soft-flex, wood-core ski with Roces Idea Up boots that adjust through six sizes without changing sole length, so the included Elan EL 4. 5 GripWalk binding stays properly set as a kid's foot grows instead of needing a shop remount each season. A lightweight cap construction and short turn radius keep the ski easy to turn for a first-timer working on greens and bunny hills. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"My son grew two boot sizes between our last two seasons, and the buckles on his Roces boots did the work instead of a trip back to the shop for a new binding mount. The skis turn easily enough that he's already stringing greens together on his own."
