Review on 🎿 Launch Pad Wedgease Ski Tip Connector: The Ultimate Ski Learning Tool for Beginners - Master Speed Control, Wedging, and Basic Turning! by Charles Lewellen

Very happy with Wedgease. I have just taken twins aged 7, 5 and 3 to the slopes. Bought two hookeases (see another Launch Pad product of the same name) and a couple of wedgeases for less than $150. Saved over $500 a day on group classes - and who knows how many days of training it would take to make that progress. I lost a day or two skiing personally but was able to spend extra time with the kids in a learning environment that was actually mostly enjoyable. The Hookeases were the main force, but the Wedgeases also played a very useful role. 7 year old. My wife and I taught our twins from zero to independence in a few runs down the rabbit slopes, and neither of them needed a hookease after just an hour or so. Our son also dropped Wedgease almost immediately, while our daughter kept Wedgease for most of the first day. But by the end of the morning, an adult could easily guide both children up the lift and down the slope, and they really enjoyed their progress. That day we stayed on the rabbit slopes to gain confidence, but on day two they were on the big lifts to the top of the mountain (still filming the green) and on day three they were on the same lifts clearing the blue From time to time. .5 years. After the first morning focused on the twins, I moved on to my 5 year old daughter on day one and after two short afternoon sessions (Day 1 and Day 2) with Hookease/Wedgease she became self sufficient. Rabbit Slopes (neither Hookease nor Wedgease necessary), but I wouldn't dare to climb the big hills without gear at the moment; In particular, she really liked having the wedge nose in place so her legs don't tire as much while keeping the skis in the correct V shape. However, a little more attention and she could easily handle the big green hills. 3 years old Finally, at the end of the third day, I took my 3-year-old son (3-year-old a few months ago) for two runs on the rabbit slopes. With so many other kids to deal with (I haven't even mentioned our 11 month old!) and as skiing is a rare family activity I wasn't interested in actually improving his learning curve at the age of 3.25. But I thought a little exposure would help. I didn't have much trouble getting him downhill with Hookease and Wedgease and he loved it. My only comment here is that since it offered limited ski positioning assistance, it required a fair amount of effort from my arms and especially my wrists to move it (if I had to adjust its direction away from the natural slope of the slope ). Hill). Of course, he was unaware of this modest workload and just loved "beat" his oncoming older sister in the race down the hill. The best option. Ski instructors from the mountain regularly asked about the equipment and were impressed - as were dozens of other spectators, including irritated parents holding their children between the skis. - My wife and I are quite experienced skiers, but of course not experts. Basic knowledge of skiing and, depending on the size and weight of the child, some arm strength should be available. But those are really low barriers, IMO. - The wedge (or similar equipment) was not allowed on the lift itself, so I had to transfer one clamp to the ski of the other clamp (i.e. both clamps on the lift). the same ski) at each lift line, and then belay the other ski again when exiting the lift at the top of the hill. Given the simplicity of the tensioning process, there was nothing to worry about; It would be very frustrating if the application process wasn't so easy.
