Maverick J Ski w/ C5 Binding - 2027 - Kids'

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying

"The Maverick J is exactly what a first ski should be. The Densolite Core keeps it light and easy to maneuver, and that 1.3˚ base edge bevel is forgiving enough that beginners can focus on learning movements instead of fighting the ski. The C5 GW Binding has a solid DIN range for small kids, and the whole setup is ready to go — just get it mounted by a tech and head to the hill."

Beginner to Intermediate Junior All-Mountain Skiers

The Maverick J is built for young skiers just starting out, with a setup that prioritizes forgiveness and ease of movement over performance demands. It suits kids taking their first real runs on snow and building the foundational skills that will carry them forward as they progress.

Groomed All-Mountain Terrain

The Maverick J is designed for the groomed slopes where most beginners spend their early days on snow. The rocker-camber profile (10% tip rocker / 90% camber) keeps the tip lifted for easy turn entry, while the camber-dominant base delivers stable, predictable contact underfoot. Short turn radius and flat tail keep the ride simple and manageable.

Forgiving Learner Build with Bindings Included

The Maverick J is built around a Densolite Core that keeps weight low and flex accessible for small bodies, while Dura Cap construction adds durability for the learning process. The 1.3˚ base edge bevel softens the catch points that trip up beginners, and the Extruded Base is low-maintenance and easy to keep running. C5 GW Bindings with a DIN range of .75–4.5 are included and sized for young skiers — bindings require mounting by a certified technician before use.
