Little kids who want to ski like their older siblings get a real freeride twin tip in the Rossignol Soul Jr. A junior-specific flex keeps it forgiving through switch skiing, butters, and soft-snow slashes, and the light build keeps swing weight low enough for small skiers to control. The line between groomer and freeride blurs early here, which sets up a versatile skier for years down the road. [boot PKG overview]
