Why Use Ski Tip Connectors?

For Children

Children develop from the top down and the inside out. What does that mean? A child has greater coordination in his/her upper body than their lower body. Additionally creating opposing movements with the body to create a wedge is more difficult for a developing child than movements where both sides of the body point the same way. Lastly, the smaller muscles and fine motor skills required to point the lower legs inward are some of the last to develop in children.

With all of these challenges, creating a wedge shape with the lower legs can be very difficult for a child who is still growing and developing. Yet a wedge enables speed control and safety.

Using ski tip connectors to provide assistance with forming and maintaining a wedge gives a child added comfort and security. It gives them a bit of assistance in an area that their growing bodies need, and helps breed confidence. A confident child makes a happy little skier.
