Great kids snow gear - for young kids who love snow

snow action team 02.09.2016

Hotham is notorious for some wild weather now and again, and the great snow that results. That sends the average punters heading for shelter, but not our youngest sponsored skier 3 year old Baxter Wright. If it’s socked in always time for a park session he reckons! So apart from attitude and aptitude how does he do it in all weathers?
Great snow gear from Australia’s own XTM helps. Young Bax Man has been road testing a bunch of the latest XTM little kid’s gear and it’s got his seal of approval. It just goes to show if your kids are serious about snow el cheapo rubbish gear won’t help them at all. For not much more you get quality you can pass on to siblings or easily offload at swap sale time.

We’ll have more on Bax’s view of Hotham later, but in the meantime this is the gear that keeps him out there:
