Wayback Jr Ski gives kids a lightweight backcountry ski with float, agility, and touring efficiency
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The Wayback Jr is perfect for kids joining family tours—it’s light on the skin track and playful on the descent. The paulownia core makes the climb less tiring, while the 84mm waist and rocker profile give plenty of float when the snow stacks up. It feels like a true touring ski, just scaled down for younger legs."
Who It’s For
Youth Ski Tourers and Backcountry Learners:
Made for kids heading into the backcountry with parents or progressing beyond the resort. Perfect for young skiers who need a touring-capable ski that’s light uphill, stable downhill, and fun across variable snow.
What It’s For
Backcountry Touring and All-Mountain Exploration:
The Wayback Jr balances uphill efficiency with downhill confidence. Its 84mm waist and All-Terrain Rocker provide float and maneuverability in powder, while camber underfoot keeps turns stable on hardpack and variable snow.
Why We Like It
Lightweight, Touring-Ready, and Playful:
We like how the paulownia core trims weight for climbing without sacrificing downhill performance. The fiberglass laminate and half-cap construction add durability, while the sintered base keeps speed alive on flat exits. It’s a ski that makes backcountry laps possible and fun for younger skiers.
