There’s no real secret to making sure your kids pick up your life-long love of skiing. Just make it as fun as it can possibly be! The Black Crows Atris Jr. is here to help: This playful, poppy all-mountain powder-charger has a medium-long sidecut for great stability and maneuverability, and a nimble feel for easy, controlled turn initiation. 

The partial-twin tip and gentle rocker at tip and tail make it a great pair to grow into, too. When the groms in your life get hungry to learn switch and grab some air on the side-hits, the Atris Jr. will reward their hard work instantly. And until then, they’ll have a speedy, floaty pair of sticks beneath ‘em while they level up their skills.
