We did it for my daughter a few years ago through a ski shop in Scarborough. Many places offer great deals for kid sized gear for the whole season. I'd suggest contacting any ski shops in your area and ask. I'm betting several of them do.

If not it would be worth coming down to Freeport to Portland area and there are a few that don't there.

I think we had to buy the helmet as that's too much liability for them. Otherwise they had boots and skis for a great deal. I don't think young kids they do poles now by default but obviously you could on your own if you want.

Also don't forget to look for any local ski swaps. I've seen a bunch of signs for those in my area all coming up soon.
