The 2026 Head Unicorn Jr with JRS 4.5 GW bindings is a kid-friendly ski designed to make learning feel like magic. With bright graphics and a forgiving flex, this setup is all about building confidence and helping young skiers master the basics in a fun, approachable way.

Why we like it:

From the first snowplow to their first real turns, the Unicorn Jr keeps things simple, intuitive, and confidence-boosting, for both kids and parents.

Who it's for:

Ideal for kids aged 3–7 who are just getting started on skis. Perfect for bunny hill laps, magic carpets, and early progression.

Highlights:

The Unicorn Jr uses a Jr. Power Frame and Junior Rocker profile to enhance ease of use and edge control, especially at slow speeds. With a soft flex and wider platform underfoot, it provides a stable ride that encourages good habits early on. The lower sidecut and longer turn radius make the ski more predictable and less twitchy, and the E4SY System (flex, weight, handling, and step-in) makes gear transitions easier for everyone involved.

Things to consider:

The ski is purpose-built for early learning stages. Kids who are already carving or skiing steeper terrain may want something with a bit more performance baked in.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Available in sizes from 67 to 97 cm. Choose based on height and comfort, going shorter for newer skiers who need maximum control.
