The Salomon Escape Grip Jr Classic Ski Package pairs a pre-mounted Prolink binding with a boot built for that same Prolink standard, so there's no shop trip or compatibility guesswork before the first day on snow. The wax-free grip base keeps the ski gliding through variable conditions without any waxing routine to learn, and the lightweight Densolite core stays easy to manage for a smaller, developing skier. Add the included poles and a young skier has everything matched and ready to click into for a first season of cross-country skiing. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I got my kid into these for a Saturday morning at the Nordic center, and there was nothing to figure out beforehand, the binding was already on the ski and the boot just stepped right in. We were moving in the first five minutes instead of me kneeling in the snow trying to make gear work."
