The Blizzard Firebird GS junior race skis with lifter plates will take your junior racer wherever they want to go in the sport of ski racing. These skis are the real-deal race skis, just in a more little-kid friendly package. Thanks to the shape, profile, and construction of the skis, the Firebird GS junior race skis are an amazing choice for the aspiring racer. At 65.5 mm underfoot, these skis have more than enough torsional stiffness to hang tight to any firmness of snow. From blue ice to hardpack, the GS Junior Firebird race skis will catch and hold a clean edge, completing round turns in the gates as well as the entire mountain. It’s amazing what kids can do these days on skis, as they’re flexible and balanced enough to access the short radius of the ski, and agile enough to handle the sharp-turning nature of the arc. Built with a sandwich sidewall construction and vertical sidewalls, these titanal-powered skis will provide enough power and stability to handle higher speeds and stronger skiing. Full camber is the name of the game when it comes to edge grip and power out of the turn. Instantaneous edge grip and precision are the result of that tip coming into contact with the snow as soon as possible, and a long effective edge creates the smooth-turning ability of the ski.
