Launch Pad is all about ski and ride training made easy. We designed our harness with so many great benefits and features that we’re sure your day on the powder will be one to talk about for years to come. The key to having fun on the slopes, especially for beginners, is being able to stay upright. The more time you spend on your back the less fun you’ll be having. That’s why we made the Launch Pad Ski and Snowboard Harness with one purpose in mind: to learn to ski or ride with ease.
PLEASE NOTE: The Launch Pad Ski and Snowboard Training Harness is the next step after the Hookease Ski Trainer in the Launch Pad ski training system. For the Hookease Ski Trainer, please see our other listing.
Benefits:

This harness has been an absolute game-changer for me and my three-year-old! Teaching a little one to ski can be quite the adventure, but with this harness, it's been smooth sailing. The quality is top-notch, providing the perfect balance of support and freedom for my little learner. Plus, the adjustable straps ensure a snug fit every time.I love how easy it is to use, making those first ski outings stress-free and enjoyable for both of us. My kiddo feels secure and confident, and I feel at ease knowing they're safe as they zip down the slopes. Whether they're cruising on skis or a snowboard, this harness has been a huge asset in their learning journey.Overall, I can't recommend this product enough! It's durable, practical, and most importantly, it gets the job done.

I bought the Launch Pad Ski and Snowboard Training Harness so we could help my 4yo niece learn to snow ski. Our first time using it was a great success! The harness was easy to get on her and adjust so she was comfortable. The straps tuck into the back pocket of the harness and are easily accessible when we're ready to go down the hill. We could control her speed and pull very gently on alternating straps to help her turn. She felt very comfortable with us using it with her and I think it gave her the confidence to practice without going too fast. After about an hour and a half, she was skiing down the bunny slope on her own. This harness will be priceless when it's time to go on the chairlift and tackle a bigger mountain. The handle on the back makes it easy to pick her up when she falls and I think it will help with getting her on and off the chairlift. This was a great purchase!

This was a great purchase! Our son was secure and comfortable in this. The handle on the back is super convenient for helping on and off the chairlift as well as picking them up when they fall. Also love the pouch on the back for easily tucking in the straps when we weren't using them. We will be getting a second one for our 5 yr old who's learning how to ski as well especially for the handle and holding onto him on a chairlift without a bar.

fantastic tool for teaching kids how to ski or snowboard. I recently used this with my 4 year old and it made a big difference in his confidence and ability on the slopes.Pros:Control: The harness allows you to control your child's speed and direction, which is a lifesaver for beginners who aren't quite ready to stop or turn on their own.Ease of Use: It’s lightweight, easy to put on, and adjustable to fit snugly without being uncomfortable.Safety: The handle on the back is a great addition for helping kids up after a fall or assisting on flat terrain.Confidence Boost: My child felt more secure knowing I was there to help, and this gave them the confidence to try new skills.Cons:The leash straps could be a bit longer for taller parents, as it sometimes felt like I had to lean forward more than I’d like.It takes some practice to manage the straps while skiing yourself, especially on steeper terrain.Overall, this harness is an excellent investment for teaching young beginners. It’s well-made, practical, and does exactly what it’s designed to do. While it’s not a magic fix, it’s a huge help in making the learning process safer and more enjoyable for everyone. Highly recommend for parents introducing their kids to skiing or snowboarding!

Where were these things when I was learning. Plenty of adjustment. Strong enough to pick up a child.

I bought these for my four year old’s second ski season. Before these I was chasing him around on the mountain and had a lot of trouble picking him up when he fell down.It’s so much easier to teach a little kid with these. Now I just grab him by the handle when he falls down. The handle is also great on the ski lift because you can hold it so there’s less likelihood the kid will slip through the safety bar.My only complaint is that I wish the reins/straps were a little longer. Now that we’re on greens, when he gets going my greater momentum can be difficult to control so I risk bumping into him, or constraining him unnecessarily.Hopefully he’ll be fully in control with Pizza at higher speeds after a few more visits to the mountain and I won’t need the straps anymore.

This harness is a must if you are teaching a toddler to ski. We tried not to use the tethers for long. As soon as our son could slow down/stop, we took the tethers off, since it’s a bit awkward to ski behind him, while using them. The best thing about the harness is the handle on the back that you use to pull your child up. It makes getting on the ski left so much easier. We also used the handle, if our kiddo fell and absolutely couldn’t get up. We bought one of these when our kiddo was 21 months and he still uses it at 5 y/o. He skis black diamond runs, but we still put the harness on every time, to help with the chair lift. Highly recommend this harness. Our recent purchase was for a family member. We were so glad to find the same one that we already loved.

My son just needed to stand, I did the rest. We could turn him, and control his speed. It's a lot of physical effort on the snowboard to break all the time to control his speed. But it was totally worth it to have the entire family on the slopes. The handle on his back helped pick him up when he fell. It was tricky to get him to ski sideways on a side-slope when we needed to, but he was able to go straight down with ease. You can see me using the strap to drag him forward on the flats. The kid loved his straps and they were easy to pack in the bag when were done.

A great product, the bungee section allows control without harsh braking, son finds the harness comfortable to wear and the handle gives easy pickup and feels safe to secure child whilst on chair lift. Awesome product. Highly recommended. I'm a ski patroller teaching my two year old to ski and love the way he is growing in skill and confidence with this harness. I'm pretty sure it will be still functioning when our 2 month old son starts learning to ski in a couple of years time.

Used this winter for my 6 yr old daughter who is over the bunny hill and only wants to go on big runs. Quality product, looks good, comfortable to use for both the parent and the child. Straps are great length and have some flex which is ideal and doesn't jerk them at all. Easy to pack up at the bottom and ideal for helping smaller children get on chair lift and provide piece of mind while holding handle on the chair rides up the mountain. Leashes enable the adult skier behinds to turn properly and control the speed of the child on even the steepest (black diamond) runs.

Leashes can be longer to give the kid better range of movement. Yet is too soon to rate durability, but until now was good.

Loved this. Easy to use and comfortable for child. Love how strings have a bit of give to them with bungee. Had the MEC waist harness and thought this preformed much better for controlling turns and was more comfortable for child
