Volkl: Junior's Gotama Jr Skis

A few ski manufacturers still think toy-like skis are child's play, but Volkl knows that kids' skis are serious business, and that's why the Volkl Gotama Jr. is one of the best youth-oriented soft-snow skis you'll find on the mountain this season. Instead of just selling a wide-sized ski in kid-sized dimensions, Volkl did the math and figured out that while wider skis are ideal for soft snow, smaller riders might lack the leg strength required for making turns in ungroomed backcountry powder. That's why they designed the Volkl Gotama Jr. with an innovative ELP rocker shape specifically for kids. As the Gotama Jr. sinks into powder the ELP rocker shape helps channel the snow, so there is less hassle with pushing snow around and complete emphasis on making controlled turns--when and where your child wants to turn on the mountain. Volkl refined the wide shape for great floatation and just enough of a cut for good control on groomed, park and pipe terrain. It's made with a lively Sensorwood core for great flex and features Volkl's Power construction for improved control in a lightweight, easy-turning profile. The Gotama Jr. is best suited for intermediate to expert kid skiers and it's an ideal choice for kids who tend to spend more time on untracked and varied mountain terrain, especially during those times in the ski season when the snow accumulates in deep powder stashes.

• Created for intermediate to expert kids who like untracked terrain but also want to take turns on hardpack, groomed, or park and pipe terrain. Consider it an all-terrain twin-tip with kid-friendly backcountry features.
