2026 Fischer Sprint Crown Jr Cross Country Skis W/ Bindings

The 2026 Fischer Sprint Crown Jr is a waxless classic ski crafted for young Nordic athletes just finding their rhythm. With an Air Channel fiberglass‑wood core and Crown Tec base pattern, it delivers trustworthy grip and glide in changing snow without the fuss of waxing.

Why we like it:

It’s a confident, low‑maintenance platform that lets kids focus on fun and skill, giving plenty of traction even in icy track conditions.

Who it's for:

Best suited for children new to cross‑country skiing, from first‑trail explorers to active beginners who want effortless reliability in typical groomed and ungroomed terrain.

Highlights:

Fischer equips the Sprint Crown Jr with their Air Channel core, blending lightweight fiberglass and wood to reduce weight and improve durability without sacrificing control. The Crown Tec pattern underfoot offers consistent grip with no wax required, making it ideal for kids learning technique on variable snow. The Ultra Tuning finish enhances glide, so young skiers experience smoother forward motion right from their first steps. Everything about this ski is designed to build confidence while keeping things simple.

Things to consider:

The Sprint Crown Jr is designed for learning and recreation, not racing, so it prioritizes grip and ease over speed. As a waxless ski, it performs best in packed or groomed conditions; in deep powder or icy tracks, performance may be more limited compared to specialized skis.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Sizing should be based on skier weight rather than height for optimal performance, with lengths ranging from 90 to 170 cm. The ski features an IFP plate for easy binding adjustment and compatibility with Turnamic junior bindings, making it a convenient setup for growing kids.
