Explore Spike Snow Kids for children’s cross-country skiing and snow activity. Discuss size, support and a trial with the child, family and relevant professionals.
Spike Snow Kids is the children’s model in the Spike Snow range, for cross-country skiing and activity on snow. Start with what the child wants to join in with, then assess size, support and setup together with the family and relevant professionals.
Winter activity shaped around the child
A family outing or club activity can be the starting point. The child’s own wishes and experience matter when trying equipment.
Taking part on snow
Describe the activities the child wants to join and who will be there. This helps you plan a relevant equipment trial.
Size and support
