Kids & Family

Kids Fashion

We have a great range of "littlies" clothing. We stock sizes for children from 2/3 years upwards. Poivre Blanc specialises in offering 'adult stuff' in kids sizes, as does SOS and Cross- just a couple of our favourites! We even have some awesome 1 piece suits by Phenix which have a unique fitting system which makes it possible for the SAME SUIT to fit kids from 2-6yrs old!

We also have snow boots for rent @ $15 per pair per day - excellent for kids playing about in the snow, especially if you also want to rent one of our toboggans for a bit of family fun! Our retail store also sells kids harnesses and "Edgie-Wedgies" which we recommend for kids around the 3 years old mark who are learning to ski or just need a bit of help keeping their pizza pointed in the front!

Kids Rental & Family Rates

We rent and retail equipment for children aged 3/4 years and older. We also offer families a special rate of 15% off on the cost of their rental equipment (minimum 1 adult and 1 child).

Kids Equipment Buy Back Scheme

Now here's a good idea.......

If you purchase children’s skis and/or boots from us, we offer to buy the equipment back from you at up to 40% of its original value (depending on condition) when the kids grow and you purchase their next set of equipment from us. Talk to the retail shop team for more information.

Kids Equipment Packages

We try to make things as easy and cost effective for you as we can, so we have put together some retail packages (limited availability) of Fischer skis and bindings. The packages come in two lengths so that they are suitable for children of different ages and sizes. Talk to Haggis in the Queenstown retail store for more information and availability.
