My grandson, age 9, 55 lbs, size 22 mondo wants to head up the mountain with me in the AM. I thought I could use a set of G3 Onyx I have, but can find a tech fitting/AT Boot, size 22. My other thought was to get a set of Marker FT 10 bindings, but it looks like the smallest size comes in at around a 23 mondo, depending on boot sole length. Has anyone found the right AT set up for the smaller sized child? Thanks Like others, am trying to get a youngster into AT Gear.

I heard news of you from Paul Duba recently and red the Outside Magazine article on your guiding adventures. Sounds like life is treating you well. Would love to come visit in Chamonix. Send me your contact info. Look forward to hearing from you. Michael,

They already cross country and alpine ski and our oldest always wants to come on tours with Nina and me. When we tell him that we dont have equipment for him he says thats ok, he can just duck walk up the hills. Currently they love mountain biking in the bois du bouchet behind our chalet.
