My son is 11 and my daughter is 8.
He's 4'10" (157 cm), 80 lbs.
She's 4'2"(127 cm), 52 lbs.
They are strong intermediate skiers. We ski at Sunday River, and they like to stick to the blue runs, but occasionally will get adventurous and do a black. They parallel turn. The biggest thing that held my daughter back in the last few years was being small and not confident on getting on the lift due to the chairs being high. I think that will improve as she is a good few inches taller this year.
When we went to get our seasonal rentals this year, the teen at the ski shop suggested that we have them keep the same skis. My daughter has 100 cm, and my son has 120 cm. They are sort of chest height on them.
Is this too short? He said that it would make them more confident, but now they are looking really short. Should I trade them up for the next size?
