I am looking for a sports store any place that could have some second hand skis for a beginning adult and a toddler. Do any of you have a recommendation?
Depends on the age of the child but the secondhand children’s shops usually resell skis, boots, ski clothes. You can find their locations with a Google search. Also the Bröckis can offer both adult & children’s skis (if you know what you are looking for), saw quite a few in the Heilsarmee in Wetzikon before Christmas.
Probably cheaper to hire. Especially for the kid. My wife and I bought our first skis only when we'd been skiing 2 years already. We didn't buy the kids' skis until they'd stopped growing.
