2027 Stockli Laser SL FIS Junior Skis W/ Salo 98 SL Plate and WRT 12I Bindings

The 2027 Stöckli Laser SL FIS Junior is a true FIS-legal slalom ski built for young, developing slalom racers. It combines Stöckli's handcrafted Swiss construction with a softer flex, forward mounting point, and race-spec tight turn radius to give junior racers a ski that's both serious and genuinely fun to rip on.

Why we like it:

New for 2027, the SL FIS Junior is now available in a 156 cm length with junior-specific construction. That's a big deal because it gives older juniors making the jump to longer slalom skis a ski that's still tuned to their bodies rather than forcing them into an adult ski before they're ready.

Who it's for:

Junior slalom racers serious about competition and development. Best for young skiers with existing race experience who need a FIS-legal ski for training and age-class events.

Highlights:

The Race Core is the same beech and poplar construction Stöckli uses in their adult Laser race skis, so junior racers are getting a ski that's built with race-grade materials and Swiss handcrafting rather than a production shortcut. Size Optimized Construction is the key here. It means every length in the range, from the 130 all the way up to the new 156, is tuned individually for flex and feel, so a junior on a 137 is getting a ski built properly for a 137, not a scaled-down version of a longer ski. The flex is softer than the adult Laser SL FIS and the mounting point is moved slightly forward, both of which help junior racers initiate turns faster and feel more playful on snow. Racing Sidewalls Black, Racing Edge, and Race Base deliver the grip and glide expected at the FIS level.

Things to consider:

This is a serious, stiff junior race ski. It's not meant for recreational skiing or first-time carvers. For young skiers who aren't quite at the FIS level, Stöckli offers more accessible junior options.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The 130 and 137 are built for younger, smaller slalom racers. The 144, 150, and new 156 are for older juniors moving up in length. Length choice should follow the junior's age class and FIS regulations for their category.
