Idk. didnot check but the chance is slim.
Anyone near you have lease programs? You can also lease remotely from @SkiEssentials
Hi @XIN XI
I have no idea the size of your 6 y.o., coordination, caveats, etc, etc... but it's my understanding that 70 cm skis are just about as small as they come and are for the youngest kids. You might check out this kids ski sizing chart: https://www.evo.com/guides/how-to-choose-youth-skis-and-size-chart
BTW, I have managed to find some kids ski gear here on Pu..I mean, SkiTalk, so it's out there. People have also recommended ebay. Good Luck!

+1 Ski lease
My kids did ski lease from ages 8-13. One of the advantages of a ski lease (that we used) is that equipment could be swapped out anytime. Their boots sizes changed every year, sometimes mid-season.
Just a quick search of "Houghton ski lease" brings up the two hits

They look about right.
If you must buy new, looks like

Did you find anything yet?
If you do decide to buy, Corbett's has K2 Indys in a 76cm length for $100 shipped through their ebay store. My 5-year old skis them in the 88cm length and they're great. They have Marker bindings that are fully adjustable.
