FOR THE GROMS

Kids gear, sized right.

Youth gear isn't just smaller adult gear — it needs softer flex, lighter builds, and sizing that accounts for a season of growing. Use the kids finders below.

Sizing kids gear

  • • Skis: chin to nose height for most kids; shorter for true beginners.
  • • Snowboards: roughly between the chin and the nose, sized off weight first.
  • • Boots: fit snug now — sizing up "to grow into" makes control much harder.
