Teens' Skis

During the teenage years, skiing becomes more intense, independent, and focused on thrills or style. Discover our selection of ski equipment for teens aged 13 to 17, designed to support their desire for performance, fresh snow, or the snowpark with complete safety.

In summary

Are your teenagers looking for speed, technique, or new sensations on the slopes? Tailored for young skiers aged 13 to 17, the Teen Ski range bridges the gap between junior gear and high-performance adult equipment. Whether they love fast carving, off-piste, or freestyle, find technical and durable models designed to fit their growing size and riding style.

High-performance equipment for 13-17 year-olds

Between ages 13 and 17, skiing evolves toward true independence. Teenagers develop clear preferences: some look for precision and line control on the piste, others seek the adrenaline of snowpark features or untracked areas just off-piste. Their gear needs to match the ingenuity of adult equipment while remaining tailored to their growing bodies.

Key features of teenage ski equipment

The 13-17 age group is marked by rapid growth spurts and gains in muscle power. Equipment must adapt to this transition:

- Construction close to adult ranges: More responsive wood cores, glass fibre or carbon reinforcements to handle speed without losing stability.

- Adjusted flex and forgiveness: Skis that are rigid enough for high-speed stability, while maintaining a progressive flex to avoid overtaxing growing joints.

- Bold designs and styling: Modern graphics and distinct profiles (twin-tip, pronounced rocker) aligned with current trends.

Adapt the ski size to their skiing style

For piste or freeride, choose a length close to the teen's height (or -5 cm). For freestyle, go for a shorter size (-10 to -15 cm) to make rotations easier.

Don't overlook the boot flex rating

A flex that is too soft will limit control at high speeds, while a flex that is too stiff (above 90/100) will be uncomfortable for lighter builds.

Helmet and back protector for safety

Teens take more risks and reach higher speeds. Wearing a helmet is essential, and a back protector is highly recommended for snowpark or freeride riding.

Which ski style to choose based on your teen's riding style?

1. Piste & Carving Range: For speed enthusiasts

For teenagers who love laying down clean arcs and linking turns with precision.

- Profile: Narrow waist, pronounced classic camber, and reinforced edges for maximum grip on hard snow.

- Ideal for: Advanced to expert skiers looking for high responsiveness.

2. Freestyle / Park Range: For creativity and tricks

Designed for teens drawn to the snowpark, jump landings, and tricks.

- Profile: Twin-tip design to ski forwards or backwards (switch) with reinforced impact-resistant edges.

3. All-Mountain & Freeride Range: For all-terrain exploration

For those who want to do it all: blast down groomed runs in the morning and charge through powder in the afternoon.

- Profile: Wider waist (80 to 95 mm) and tip/tail rocker for effortless float in deep snow.

What is the difference between a junior ski and a teen ski?

Junior skis are designed for lighter children, prioritizing forgiveness at lower speeds. Teen skis feature stiffer constructions (full wood core, reinforcements) tailored to heavier builds and the higher speeds typical of 13–17 year-olds.
Can my teenager switch directly to adult equipment?

If your teenager has reached their adult height and weight (often around 16–17 years old, depending on build) and is an advanced skier, they can choose from adult ranges. However, for a lighter frame or a teen who is still growing, specific Teen ranges prevent the equipment from being too physically demanding to ski.
