Im looking for race skis for my 1997 born daughter who weighs 99lbs/45kg and is 5ft 3/160cm tall. At the moment she skis on atomic 144, 165 and 175, slalom, gs and super g skis, but next year will have to go on to bigger skis so she doesnt have a huge jump in length when she starts fis. The coach has recommended that as she should be on longer skis to get ones with a softer flex. So which brand generally makes the softest flex junior race skis?

I am not an expert on jr race skis, but I am pretty sure that there are some great options for you.

Among the junior race skis, Rossignols are the softest and Volkls are the stiffest. At least that was true of the 2011-2012 models.

 

If she goes to one of the spring/summer race camps, however, reps from several manufacturers usually have demos for the kids. She can try them out. Prices between the major brands don't vary much.
