What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've recommended the Poacher Jr to a lot of young skiers ready to move beyond beginner gear. It feels playful and balanced, especially with the rocker in the tip and tail, but still holds an edge when they start carving with more confidence. It's forgiving when they're learning new tricks, yet stable enough that they don't outgrow it too quickly."Who It's ForYoung Skiers Progressing into Park and All-Mountain Riding:This ski is ideal for kids who are comfortable linking turns and starting to explore side hits, small jumps, and basic park features. It's built for those who want a twin-tip shape for creativity but still need a forgiving, confidence-building flex. What It's ForPark & Freestyle Skiing with All-Mountain Versatility:With rocker in the tip and tail and camber underfoot, the Poacher Jr is designed for playful skiing across the resort. It handles groomed runs, mixed snow, and early park laps with ease, giving young riders the freedom to ski switch, try spins, and refine carved turns. Why We Like ItPlayful Shape, Durable Build, and Room to Grow:The aspen core keeps the ski lightweight and lively, helping kids stay energized through long days. Duracap construction improves durability for inevitable bumps and scrapes, while the rocker/camber/rocker profile balances maneuverability with edge grip. The included FDT 7. 0 binding system completes the package with secure retention and easy integration, making this a ready-to-go setup for progression.
