What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I set my nephew up with the Pearl Jr Skis after he outgrew his first pair, and the wider DIN range on the 7. 0 GW binding meant we didn't have to size up again by midseason. The tip rocker kept his turns smooth even when he got a little sloppy with his form. He went from cautious wedge turns to linking parallel turns in just a few weekends."Saturday mornings at the resort start the same way, hot chocolate in hand and the Pearl Jr Skis clicked in for another lap on the bunny hill, and the Pearl Jr Skis from Blizzard are there for every version of that season, from the first cautious snowplow to the first real parallel turn. As a young skier's stance widens and their speed picks up, these skis keep pace instead of holding progress back. That staying power comes from a build designed for the long haul. Cap construction shrugs off the everyday scrapes of learning, from tips catching in the snow to skis dragged across a parking lot, while a lightweight composite core keeps the ski easy for smaller legs to steer. The included 7. 0 GW bindings carry a DIN range of 2 to 7, giving a growing skier real room to progress before the next size upgrade is even a conversation.
