Playmaker 81 T Jrs Ski w/ El 7.5 Gw Binding - 2026

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve put several young skiers on the Playmaker 81 T Jr and it’s a total win. It’s stable, light, and gives them a confidence boost whether they’re cruising groomers or starting to explore bumps and off-trail terrain. The twin-tip shape even gives it park potential when they're ready to play."

Who It’s For

Developing Juniors and Young Intermediates:

This ski-and-binding system is tailored for kids ready to move beyond rentals and beginner setups. It’s ideal for juniors building skills across the mountain, offering a supportive flex, stable ride, and playful design that keeps skiing fun while helping them progress.

What It’s For

All-Mountain Exploration with Early Park Potential:

From groomers and trees to first park laps, the Playmaker 81 T Jr handles a wide variety of terrain. The rocker/camber/rocker profile ensures smooth turns on firm snow, float in softer conditions, and enough freestyle versatility to encourage creativity as skills improve.

Why We Like It

Confidence, Fun, and Durability in One Package:

We like the Playmaker 81 T Jr because it makes progression natural. The dual woodcore with fiberglass keeps it responsive without being too demanding, while the Full Power Cap construction adds durability and reduces weight. The included EL 7.5 GW bindings complete the ready-to-ride package, making this setup approachable and long-lasting for young skiers.
