What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I’ve seen so many kids step up their skiing on the Poacher Jr. It’s forgiving enough to boost confidence but has that same playful rocker-camber profile as bigger park skis. Whether they’re just starting to spin or hitting side hits all over the mountain, it helps them progress without holding them back."Who It’s ForGrowing Groms and Young Freestyle Skiers: Perfect for kids who are past rental skis and want something built for fun and progression. The Poacher Jr is designed for young skiers who like to explore groomers, side hits, and terrain parks with a forgiving yet capable setup. What It’s ForAll-Mountain Skiing with Park Play: Best suited for kids who want a ski that can handle a bit of everything—groomed runs, soft snow, and early park laps. The rocker in the tip and tail adds maneuverability, while camber underfoot gives stability and control for learning tricks or carving turns. Why We Like ItDurability, Playfulness, and Confidence in One: We like the Poacher Jr because it feels like a scaled-down version of a true freestyle ski. The Duracap construction makes it tough enough to handle inevitable crashes and rough handling, while the versatile rocker-camber profile keeps it lively and supportive. It’s a confidence-builder for kids who are eager to push their skiing further.
