The 2026 Rossignol Sender Junior is a lightweight all-mountain ski made to fuel confidence and curiosity in young skiers. With an easy-turning shape, forgiving flex, and featherlight feel, it's built to turn early-season lessons into full-season stoke. Why we like it: It makes progression feel natural, keeping things light, fun, and responsive while giving kids the tools and confidence to explore more of the mountain. Who it's for: A great fit for intermediate juniors ready to step beyond the basics and start skiing mixed conditions, from groomers to soft snow and beginner-friendly trees. Highlights: With a 76 mm waist and short radius, the Rallybird Junior is nimble, predictable, and easy to maneuver. The lightweight composite construction helps minimize fatigue, while the progressive rocker keeps turn initiation smooth and catch-free. Paired with the Xpress Jr 7 GW bindings, it delivers a simple setup with dependable release as young skiers grow and advance. Things to consider: This ski is tailored for progression, not aggressive skiing. As skills sharpen and speed increases, skiers may want to step into something with more power and edge hold. Fit & sizing considerations: The Rallybird Jr skis true to size. Shorter lengths offer quicker response and control, while longer lengths provide added stability for faster skiers.
