2027 Stockli Laser GS FIS Junior Skis W/ 97 GS Plate and WRT 12I Bindings

The 2027 Stöckli Laser GS FIS Junior is a true FIS-legal giant slalom ski built specifically for young, developing racers. It keeps the high-end Swiss construction of the adult Laser GS FIS but scales everything to the right lengths, flex patterns, and mounting points for junior bodies and junior technique.

Why we like it:

The softer flex and forward mounting point make this ski morel than just a shrunken-down adult race ski. Young racers get a ski that responds at the speeds they actually ski, which matters a lot for developing proper technique.

Who it's for:

Junior GS racers who are serious about development and need a real FIS-legal ski for training, competition, and age-class events. A fit for young skiers who already have some race experience and are ready to take the next step.

Highlights:

Stöckli builds this ski with the same poplar and beech Race Core used across the adult Laser race line, which means junior racers get real race-grade construction rather than a watered-down version. What makes this ski special is the Size Optimized Construction, which tunes the flex and build to each individual length, so a 144 skis properly for a junior who needs a 144. The flex is softer than the adult GS FIS and the mounting point is moved slightly forward, both of which make the ski quicker in the turn and easier for junior skiers to bend and drive. Racing Sidewalls Black, Racing Edge, and a Race Base with Full Edge Contact work together to deliver race-level grip, and Flex Torsion Control keeps the ski composed through the gates.

Things to consider:

This is a serious, stiff junior race ski. It's not a first pair of skis, and it's not the move for recreational junior skiers who are still learning to carve. For young racers who aren't ready for a full FIS ski, Stöckli's Laser Junior line offers more accessible options.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Length choice should follow the junior's age class and race category. The 160 and 168 are common picks for older juniors moving into longer GS skis, while the 144 and 152 are built for younger racers still developing their technique.
