Mini skis and Mobile Ski Jumping Hill

Mini skis is great, cheap and fun equipment to use for children who wants to try skiing for the first time. You just need normal shoes and some snow in your local community, school yard or in the street. You can also use them as balance training in the ski club. We also have had a lot of school projects with mini skis and the mobile Ski Jumping Hill.
