What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I picked this up for a young rider in my family who was starting to chase powder days instead of sticking to groomers, and the wide waist kept her floating easily in fresh snow. The forgiving flex made it simple for her to progress without the ski ever feeling too demanding."Some young riders outgrow beginner terrain fast, and the Line Bacon Shorty Ski Kids' is built for exactly that jump into steeper, deeper snow. We watch kids point this ski into fresh powder for the first time, and a waist width equivalent to a 115 or 120 in an adult ski keeps them floating with confidence instead of getting bogged down. An Aspen wood core keeps the whole build light and nimble, while an even, forgiving flex means the ski responds predictably as young skiers build technique rather than punishing small mistakes. A five cut sidecut blends multiple turn radiuses into one ski, giving kids an intuitive feel whether they're carving a groomer, testing out the park, or committing to their first real powder day.
