I love all the advice! Thank you. Not in a million years could I have figured this out by myself:)

Does anyone have Obrien Jr Amigos for sale? They are discontinued. Is the Obrien Jr Vortex a good alternative?

Great advice! Thank you!

I am glad to hear we are on the right track with the Obrien Jr Amigos. We are only borrowing these skis and they are no longer available to buy. Does anyone know where I can either buy some used Obrien Jr Amigo skis or can anyone recommend another similar ski that is available?

My 4 year old child is currently learning to slalom on an old pair of Obrien Jr Amigos and doing well. By 5 years old, she should be ready for a new slalom ski. Does any one have any recommendations on what ski to buy or what size of ski she should use?

Thank you Russell! I appreciate the help. I will call you in the next short while. Thank you Eleeski, MrJones and Chef23.

Thank you! I understand what I am looking for. I had no idea that kids should use a helmet or could even hit their heads. Great idea.

Thank you! I am excited to learn how to teach my son. Any chance you have a wakeboard to recommend. I do not know the first thing about a wakeboard. Relieved to hear that 'no tattoos' are required:)

I am looking for junior trick skis for a 5 year old. I know I must not be the only with a young child wanting to learn. He is currently skis well on 2 skis and will start working on slalom skiing soon. I am guessing from my web search that I will have to get trick skis made for him. I am not a trick skier and have no idea how to proceed. Does anyone know where to find junior trick skis for a very young child or where I can get some made? Does anyone know what specifications would be ideal for trick skiers for a young child (5 years old, about 45lbs)?
