Blizzard Canvas JR and Marker 7.0 Binding

Junior Freeski Ski and System Binding Blizzard Canvas JR and Marker 7.0 Binding The Blizzard Canvas JR and Marker 7.0 is the junior version of Blizzard's Canvas freeski line, for children who ski the whole hill rather than just the groomers. A 105-74-96 mm shape at 128 cm puts this ski seven millimetres wider underfoot than the Anomaly JR, which is the difference between a groomer ski and one a child can take into soft snow and side hits. Radius runs 8 m at 108 cm to 14 m at 148 cm, and the 7-rated junior binding comes on the FDT Junior RTL plate, mounted and set in the shop for the individual child. Is This the Right Package for You? Best For Children who ski the whole mountain and want a slightly wider junior ski for soft snow and terrain features, in lengths from 108 cm to 148 cm. Consider Another Package If Your child skis almost entirely on groomers, needs a shorter ski, or is racing, since the Canvas JR is the wider freeski option in the junior range. Why We Like It A 74 mm waist is meaningfully wider than the 67 mm junior norm, which is what lets a child play in soft snow rather than sink in it. Radius from 8 m to 14 m across five lengths keeps the ski turnable at the short end and stable at the long end. The white Canvas topsheet comes from Blizzard's artist series rather than the standard junior graphics package. The FDT Junior RTL plate adjusts across boot sizes without a remount, in two plate sizes across the size run. Best Uses All-mountain junior skiing on and off the groomers Soft snow, side hits and terrain features Children who follow their parents off-piste Ski school groups working beyond green runs Junior skiers needing 108 cm to 148 cm of ski 📏 Technical Specifications Manufacturer specs · Click to expand Shape and Sizing Dimensions 105-74-96 mm (128 cm) Turn Radius 8 m (108 cm), 9 m (118 cm), 11 m (128 cm), 12 m (138 cm), 14 m (148 cm) Lengths 108, 118, 128, 138, 148 cm Rocker Profile Rockered tip, camber underfoot Package and Setup Construction JR Composite Cap over a FDT Junior RTL plate, size S from 108 cm to 128 cm and size L from 138 cm to 148 cm Binding FDT JR 7 binding Plate FDT Junior RTL plate, size S from 108 cm to 128 cm and size L from 138 cm to 148 cm Setup System package.

Children who ski the whole mountain and want a slightly wider junior ski for soft snow and terrain features, in lengths from 108 cm to 148 cm. How is the binding on the Canvas JR and Marker 7.0 Binding set up? The FDT JR 7 binding comes on the FDT Junior RTL plate, size S from 108 cm to 128 cm and size L from 138 cm to 148 cm and is mounted and adjusted in the shop by a certified technician, using your child's boots and their current weight, height and age. Release settings are not a published figure on this package because they are set for the individual child and need checking every season as they grow. Why is the binding listed two ways? The listing name and the manufacturer catalog use different names for the same package. Blizzard's FW26/27 catalog lists article 8A6422MG with the FDT JR 7 binding, and our listing carries the retail binding name. It is one package and one article number, not two products. Can the binding be adjusted as my child grows? Yes, within a range. Junior system bindings adjust for boot sole length across several boot sizes without remounting, which is most of the reason to buy a system package rather than a flat ski. Bring the skis and the new boots in and we will reset the length and recheck the release setting. Is the Canvas JR too wide for a child? At 74 mm underfoot, no. That is still narrow by adult standards and it adds float without making the ski hard to tip on edge. A child who skis only groomed runs will find the narrower Anomaly JR quicker edge to edge, but anyone venturing into soft snow gains more than they give up. What length Canvas JR should we get? Bring your child in so we can measure. Length depends on height, weight, ability and growth, and for a ski meant to go off-piste we tend not to size down as aggressively as we would for a pure groomer ski. The plate handles growth in boot size, not in ski length. Our Verdict The Blizzard Canvas JR and Marker 7.0 is the junior package to buy if your child does not stay on the groomers. Seven millimetres of extra width over the Anomaly JR at 105-74-96 mm turns a groomer ski into one that works in soft snow, radius from 8 m to 14 m keeps five lengths usable, and the FDT Junior RTL plate lets the binding follow a growing foot. As with every junior package, the setting is done in the shop and should be rechecked each season.
