Playmaker 81 T Jrs Ski w/ El 7.5 Gw Binding - 2026

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve put several young skiers on the Playmaker 81 T Jr and it’s a total win. It’s stable, light, and gives them a confidence boost whether they’re cruising groomers or starting to explore bumps and off-trail terrain. The twin-tip shape even gives it park potential when they're ready to play."

The Elan Playmaker 81 T Jr System Ski with EL GW bindings is designed to bring confidence, fun, and skill-building into every turn. From groomer days with family to spontaneous detours through trees or early park laps, the Playmaker 81 T Jr is a platform that lets younger riders explore the full mountain with ease and energy. Its accessible shape and forgiving flex are tuned to help new and progressing skiers feel comfortable from first run to last.

A rocker/camber/rocker profile ensures smooth turn initiation and better float in softer snow, while traditional camber underfoot provides grip and stability on firmer terrain. Built with a dual woodcore and fiberglass layup, the ski delivers responsive flex that doesn’t overwhelm developing legs. The Full Power Cap construction keeps it lightweight and durable for season-long progress. Whether dropping into bumps or linking turns on groomers, the Playmaker 81 T Jr makes every lap count.
