U16 Equipment List

Helmet -A certified race helmet is mandatory. As well we suggest a detachable face guard for slalom.

Mouthguards - Mouthguards are mandatory for training and racing to avoid dental injuries and concussions.  Boil & Bite mouthguards can be purchased at most drug stores and sporting good stores.  Custom mouthguards can be purchased through your personal dentist.  

Shinners – These are worn over the ski pants or skin suits to protect the shins and knees when skiing slalom.

Speed Suits - Speed suits are not mandatory however most K2 athletes are using them.

Skis - K2 athletes will compete in 4 types of races. Slalom, Giant Slalom (“GS”), Kombi and Super G.  At this stage, K2 athletes need a pair of slalom skis for Kombi and Slalom and GS skis for GS and Super G.

It is the PARENT’S RESPONSIBILITY to ensure that their child has properly fitting and properly functioning equipment.
