HAND-Z-BAR Kids Downhill Ski Trainer to Learn/Teach Beginner Alpine Skiing
Kids now have an easy, safe way to learn to ski with fewer scary falls or crashes. This is thanks to the Hand-Z-Bar, a teaching aid designed to help beginner skiers keep their hands out in front of their bodies, and always directed downhill – the most important part of staying balanced on skis. The Hand-Z-Bar also helps to train the skier to maintain the correct upper body orientation when moving and turning on the snow. With the lightweight Hand-Z-Bar, you can teach children the correct body position from their very first day on skis!
Most ski instructors agree the it is best to start children skiing without using ski poles. Poles can be unsafe and confusing for small children while they are just learning. Of course, ski poles will eventually be necessary for skiing, and can be introduced to the child after their balance and control are adequately developed.
Suitable for Ages 3 and up.

We end up chasing it again.It’s too light and too thick to grip so we stopped using it. This product definitely needs some improvement. If I knew then what I know now, the same concept, I asked my daughter to hold one of my ski poles and hold it in the same way as…
