My 9 year old is an intermediate skier. She learned when she was 6 (4 seasons), and we average maybe 4 days a season (though in her second season she probably got in 10 days). She's getting much bolder and enjoys fast (on blues), as well as the bumps in the park (not jumping yet, though I can see she would take to it; she's been ice skating year round for 2 1/2 years).
She's due to go up in size on skis, and I'm wondering if there's any reason NOT to get her twin tips yet? Like because they would be mounted in the center and that might throw her off? She can do blacks, but we didn't do any this last year, and may or may not next year (we now have my 7 year old beginner son in the mix - though a series of lessons that free us up is probably the plan for next year).
Would there be any reason not to get her twin tips? Do they have lessons where they teach them to ski backwards?
