2025 Volkl Racetiger SL R Junior Skis w/WC-PC

The 2025 Volkl Racetiger SL R Junior is a race-bred slalom ski scaled down for developing athletes who demand edge precision and power.

It’s a tool that supports fast technical progression without being overly punishing for lighter skiers.

Why we like it:

Who it's for:

Junior ski racers training slalom who want reliable edge grip, acceleration out of the turn, and a plate system that mimics adult race skis.

Highlights:

Slalom sidecut built for quick edge-to-edge transitions; multi-layer wood core supports consistent flex and feedback; WC-PC Plate adds pro-level connection and power transfer.

Things to consider:

With a race-tuned design, this ski is best kept on firm, prepared snow and thrives in a course setting.
