Skis

U10 athletes should have one set of carving/race skis. An example would be a Multi Event or SL ski. For U10 we do not need both SL and GS skis, and there is no need for a plate on the ski. Skis should come up to roughly their nose when standing barefoot, chin when in ski boots.

Optional: One set of all-mountain skis, maximum width under foot should be 90mm, absolutely no need for anything wider at this age, and second-hand options are worth looking at.

There are exceptions when it comes to athletes with uncommon heights and weights for their age, if you are stuck between sizes generally it is a better call to size up. As always, contact your coach before buying new equipment.

Boots

Certainly their most important piece of equipment. Four buckle boots with a power strap are preferred. It is also important that the athletes can flex their boots, to have supported range of motion in their ankle joint. If you are looking at new boots, please go via a boot fitter to get the right fit and flex (60-70). We’ll do some boot checks at the start of the season as well.

Helmets

Helmets are mandatory and need to fit properly. Soft-ear helmets are not allowed in ski racing at this age. Athletes will need FIS approved helmets.

Other Equipment

• Poles should have straps or clip in system.

• Slalom (SL) protection equipment is not mandatory, but important for practicing proper SL technique. This equipment includes: poleguards, shin guards, chin guard for helmet.

• Mouthguards are mandatory for gate training.

• Back Protectors are mandatory.

• U10 athletes do not need a speed/downhill suit.

• Goggles compatible helmet. Extra lenses and/or spare goggles are very handy when the weather turns foul or your goggles are damaged.

• Gloves that fit and keep your hands warm. Padded gloves are not mandatory.

Uniform

U10 registration includes a WMSC Club jacket. We encourage all athletes to wear the WMSC Club uniform.

2nd hand equipment can also be found at the Ski SWAP held on Thanksgiving weekend at the Club Cabin or through our Buy & Sell FB page.

• Athletes are expected to attend all events throughout the season, turning up on time and in their gear.

• Athletes and their families/support crews should understand the Code of Conduct and all policies of WMSC listed on the About page.

• Volunteering at events is fundamental to the success of WMSC. The minimum commitment per family for U10 is four (4) days of volunteering. Please review our Onboarding and Engagement Policy and the Volunteer Policy before registering for the season.
