Atomic Maverick M Kids Skis + L6 GW Bindings 2025

The Atomic Maverick JR 130-150 is a real-deal ski for younger on-piste shredders ages 8-12 – and the last step for them before they move from a junior ski to an appropriately-sized full-length ski. It delivers awesome grip on groomed snow and features our All Mountain Rocker. By adding Bend-X Technology – a special flex zone in the binding area that enables even the lightest kids to bend their skis and get strong contact with the snow. Wider than the Maverick JR 100-120 series, this is an ideal ski for young adventurers getting ready to play with the big kids.

Kids skis come in two varieties, Carving/Race Skis and Twin Tips. Carving skis are best for kids just starting out and doing general all mountain type skiing. Twin Tips are better for adventurous kids getting into hitting jumps and can be better for kids who travel as they are a bit better in Powder.

Waist Width

With kids skis it's important to go for a narrow ski. Kids, being shorter, don't have the same amount of leverage over a ski to get it on edge.

Kids Carving & Race skis range from 60-70mm which is great for kids progressing.

Kids Twin Tips are often wider, which is fine if they are stronger skiers, but can really inhibit progression in kids who are just starting out. Really strong kids can typically handle skis up to 90mm in ~150cm length, but limiting width to 85mm is better for All Mountain performance.

Length

Kids ski length depends on both Height & Weight, so if between sizes, size down if they are lightweight and size up if they are on the heavier side.

Parents if you are looking to get a couple years out of kids skis it better to size them correctly for year 1 and then short on year 2 rather than size up and have them be too long initially. Kids on skis that are too long can really struggle to improve.
