## Overview

The Altai Balla Hok Ski with Universal Binding is a 99 cm lightweight kids’ ski designed for ages 5 to 10, blending cross-country efficiency with snowshoe-like ease. Featuring a universal binding adjustable to fit boots down to size 12, and three 3-pin Telemark inserts compatible with adult bindings, it offers versatile, long-lasting use. Perfect for stable, confident skiing on varied terrain, it’s the ideal starter ski that grows with your child’s skills and feet.

## Description

Balla is the word for a kid or child in the Altai Mountains so it seemed appropriate for our kids version of the Hok. The Hok is a playful ski even for adults, so we felt it was the ideal type of ski for a kid to learn to ski on. Yes, it is slower then a regular ski, but the Balla Hok is stable, easy to use, and can go up or down with equal ease. It is the perfect tool to just go out and play in the snow. We feel the Balla Hok, especially when matched with a universal binding, can be the first ski starting at age 5 or so and go up to 8 or 10 years old, depending on the size and proficiency of the child using it. We have had a year of testing with some kids around our region and results have been really positive. The Balla Hok comes with 3 inserts matching the 3 pin tele hole pattern (same as the adult Hoks) but no heel piece inserts. We have had people also direct mount kids nnn bindings and a standard 3 pin (like the old round bail bindings) would use the front insert hole and drill the back two. The 3 pin we offer would fit the inserts as is. We can cut down our adult sized universal binding so that the binding fits shoes down to about a size 12 kids, depending on the shoe type. This is now an option when you select the Balla Hok. The advantage to the universal is your child can use whatever boots he or she chooses (winter boots!) and can adjust the binding to grow with feet…. one ski and binding lasting for years!

Review: Great company, fast shipping. - I haven't tried these in the snow yet, but they feel super solid and seem to work on the carpet ok.
Review: Great customer service! - At a small shop in Alaska I bought these kids skis and some adult bindings that I was assured would work for my grandson. Turns out the adult bindings use a longer screw that will not work with the kids ski. To clarify, I was given the wrong screws by the shop, it was not an Altai mistake. However, I called Altai and explained the situation. They quickly shipped the appropriate shorter screws for the kids ski (thanks Johnna!). We are excited about our winter adventures to come!
