This winter, you have a chance to win FREE SKIS from Elan for the junior skier or skiers in your family. All you need to do is capture a photo that depicts what skiing means to you and your family, in the spirit of Always Good Times.

______________________________________________

Elan has been handcrafting skis wholly made in the Alps for 75 years; our goal is to improve the skiing experience for friends and families who live the skiing lifestyle and are all about good times in the mountains. With a rich history of innovation -- including the first cap construction and first shaped ski -- we design skis to make skiing better and more fun for all levels, from first timers to old pros.

Elan’s junior U-Flex line continues this tradition by offering the best technology for children who are learning to ski. The problem with traditional junior ski construction is that shorter skis are too stiff to bend, preventing young skiers from learning to carve. This problem becomes exponential in the shortest sizes. U-Flex is a technology that strategically removes material from the ski, in the shape of small ribs, which makes the ski 25% more flexible and promotes easier turning, faster learning, stronger fundamentals, and MORE FUN!

The flexing boot seems to be a key part or the ski will have a more difficult time flexing under foot. Cool concept that should make learning easier for the wee ones!

The boot was designed over 15 years ago by the Swiss boot fitter Hans-Martin Heierling, it was originally marketed as the Alpina Flexxi Be3

@Tyler ready to trench some turns at the top of Moementum at Big Mountain. First generation Elan SCX in 123cm...note the Salomon Quad 3 with lifter plates because I didn't want him booting out.

I want to thank Pugski and Elan and @Dave Petersen for the great contest. My grandson Archer will love skiing on these new Elan skis, which are a bit too long right now but should be just right soon as he is growing like a weed.

It made a huge smile on his face when he found out we had won the contest. The skis arrived in good shape and we are all set with the bindings set for the proper forward pressure and DIN setting at 3 ....

Now can you arrange for some much needed snow? :)

Tuned a pair of the Elan U-Flex 100s last night. Nicely build skis for kids.

@pchewn hope your grandson enjoys the skis.
