I was trying to figure out if the gear was too big. That confirms it, thanks!
Actually when I went to visit Jeff Bokum we talked about kids gear a little. He said it's very important to get the correct size boots for them. Don't try to eke an extra season out of them. Both for their own performance and for their safety. He told me that for every size too big the boots are there is a 30% increase in the chance the kid will break a leg. :-o
Good work on getting them hooked early. I'd rather have to explain why we can't go skiing off season than try to convince them they need to go in season.
