The 2026 Nordica Unleashed 90 brings the high-energy personality of the Unleashed series into a junior-specific platform designed for the next generation of freeride skiers. Lightweight, responsive, and built to inspire confidence, it gives developing skiers exactly what they need to explore the entire mountain without holding them back.

Why we like it:

This ski delivers grown-up performance in a junior footprint, and is perfect for young rippers who are ready to take things up a notch.

Who it's for:

Ideal for aggressive junior skiers who want a playful, versatile ski that can keep up as they tackle trees, groomers, park laps, and powder stashes.

Highlights:

Nordica packs the Unleashed 90 with proven technology from its adult line, including a Performance wood core and Carbon Fiber Glass for a smooth, energetic feel underfoot. The True Tip design trims excess material from the tips and tails, reducing swing weight and increasing maneuverability; it's perfect for quick turns in tight spaces. Its twin tip shape encourages creativity across a variety of terrain, from natural features to park laps, while still offering solid edge grip on firmer snow.

Things to consider:

Though the Unleashed 90 reaches up to a 174 cm length, it’s still built as a junior ski. Heavier or more aggressive teens who are starting to overpower this model may want to consider bumping up to the Unleashed 98 or other adult freeride skis with more support and stability.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These skis run true to size. Choose based on skier height and ability, but keep in mind the lightweight build makes them particularly easy to maneuver for younger athletes.
