Best 5 inexpensive Alpine Skiing for Man

Bern Weston Jr. Helmet – Boys’

Your kid is already showing you up by carving at high speeds, seeking out powder in the trees, and dropping into the terrain park. Protect him from nasty spills on the mountain with the Bern Boys’ Weston Jr. Helmet. This low-profile helmet features Zip-Mold+ construction for an ultralight feel with certified impact protection in the case of a major fall.

Oversized vents prevent overheating on warmer days, while the soft-wearing liner promotes hours of continuous comfort. It sports Bern’s Crank Fit, so he can dial in the secure fit all on his own. And because it’s decked out in lively colors, he’ll actually want to wear it on the slopes—instead of ‘accidentally’ leaving it in the backseat of the car before riding.

Scott The Ski – Men’s

Scott designed The Ski to be a versatile daily driver that can handle any conditions and terrain, from groomer laps to off-piste exploring to some fresh turns on a quick backcountry tour. The 91-93 millimeter waist adds to the skis do-it-all-nature by providing just the right amount of float in deeper snow without being overwhelming on hardpack. A rockered tip adds to the Ski’s aptitude in all conditions, and Scott’s 3D sidecut improves edge control, adds stability throughout turns, and delivers an overall playful feel.

The Ski features a full-length paulownia core that keeps the ski light and responsive while also maintaining a smooth, consistent flex. Scott’s Elliptic Sandwich construction is responsible for the torsionally stiff, powerful overall feel, which you’ll enjoy whether you’re ripping East Coast groomers or West Coast fluff.

Dalbello Sports CX-1 Ski Boot – Boys’

The pint-sized Dalbello CX-1 Kids’ Ski Boot makes your little skier’s first days on the hill fun and painless thanks to a soft-flexing shell and comfy, cozy Super Comfort Jr. liner shaped just for a short stack’s foot. A super-easy ratchet-buckle closure makes dialing in a secure fit a cinch, and low-contour cuff fits small legs comfortably and snugly for shred adventures that bring nothing but smiles. Dalbello also included replaceable and grippy Dura-Grip sole lugs, so your mini ripper will have an easier time navigating stairs and you’ll be able to replace the sole instead of buying new boots.

Salomon QST Max JR Ski + EZY7 B80 Binding – Boys’

Designed to help young beginners progress into confident blue-square aficionados and finally into little all-over-the-mountain rippers, the Salomon Kids’ Q-Max JR Ski + EZY7 Binding offers the versatile performance necessary to accommodate a variety of skill levels. This ski features a subtle All-Terrain Rocker 2.0 profile, making it easy to turn and able to glide over uneven snow like a flying squirrel glides between trees. Nothing else about the Q-Max is squirrely, though, as it’s built with a solid composite core that’s light and forgiving and a monocoque cap construction that makes skiing comfortable and easy. Your aspiring shredder is bound to hit some bumps along the way, so Salomon gave the Q-Max a reinforced structured topsheet to keep it looking good and skiing like new for as long as you need it to.

An adjustable Salomon EZY7 binding comes with the ski, so you don’t have to fuss and worry about buying the right binding. It sits on a track, making adjustment as simple as flicking a switch, sliding the heel and toe pieces to fit the boot, and flicking the switch back down—no fuss, no stress, no worries about growing feet.

Kastle BMX 105 HP Ski – Men’s

When it comes to snow, the Kastle BMX 105 HP Ski isn’t picky. Whether you’re cutting first tracks into a few fresh feet or hunting through chopped up crud to find some hidden powder fields, it’ll give you a smooth and stable ride thanks to its innovative construction and high quality materials. The HP in its name stands for “High Performance” and it takes that queue from the quality of the materials used in its construction. From the base to the sidewalls to the core, you’ll find nothing but the best, including a lightweight woodcore made of silver fir and beech, surrounded by dual titanal layers for added dampening characteristics that really smooth out your ride through even the most variable conditions.

This ski’s got a 105mm waist width that’s definitely at home getting first tracks on a powder day, but has enough versatility to not be relegated to a deep-days-only role. Its camber underfoot ensures edge grip when new snow starts to flatten out into harder packed surfaces, while the rockered tip and tail provide playful float when the deep stuff returns in a couple of days. You’ve also got Hollowtech technology in the tip reducing swing weight, enhancing stability, and delivering a more powerful edge grip as you soar down the mountain. Tack on a semi-cap sidewall construction for added durability, and you’ve got a ski that doesn’t wait for the conditions to dictate when it gets to charge.
