The Salomon Depart First Jr is built for kids who are ready to leave the magic carpet behind and explore the rest of the mountain. A twin-rocker shape and a wood core help young skiers initiate turns easily and stay balanced even when their technique is still developing. It's a forgiving, playful ski that mirrors the all-mountain shape of grown-up freestyle skis, so kids can experiment with everything from groomers to small side hits. The Juniortrak binding system comes pre-mounted and adjusts to the kid's boot size.
