    had some friends join us a Powell one summer, rented great beginner skis for pennies from Sports Chalet. Every kid at the lake got up on them. Well worth the few duckets for the week.
    They also sell almost all of thier yearly rental equipment after the season is over. FYI

    I started skking when I was 3 and singled at age 8 like Bad Blown. The best is to use the doubles like are shown in the picture above. The key is to be in the water with them so they can get their balance and have the driver pull out slowly. Good luck!

    My daughter first started kneeboarding and doesn't seem to be interested in the skis. She is attempting to get up on the wakeboard but a little stubborn about instructions at her age. Daaaaad, I know already. Shes 10 now but started on the kneeboard around 6'ish.
    Riding quads she started early--3

    learned on my moms ski (cutdown custom made racing single)
    at age 5. had to wear tennis shoes because my feet were too
    small to stay put in the ski binding......
    got bored with the racing single at age 6, and dad bought some
    cheapo plywood kids doubles.. used them till about 9, then went
    to full size adult slalom ski.....
    I've had all my girls on kneeboards now, they started at age 5.
    we might try a kiddie-sized wakeboard next..
    that "U" shaped kiddie ski is neat......

    My dad started me at 6 (and I still have the ski's & the Maja he got me when I was 14) and my daughter started on the kneeboard at 1 w/her dad and 2 by herself. Started skiing at 13, couldnt get her off the kneeboard to try it but now she loves it. Wakeboarding at 16...thanks to Hardcore Ski and his better half, she learned on her birthday!

    I learned when I was 3 1/2 in a no wake zone. I was so small and light that they just held me on top of the water and the boat left and I was up. That is how it all started 25 years ago.

    Jeez, I feel like I got a late start now.
    Learned to ski when I was 9 (doubles), deep starting slalom by the next summer. Lived to ski ever since.
    The younger you learn, the easier it is when you get older.
