The Camox Birdie Jr is a wild ski for wild kids, a true twin tip built for young skiers eager to explore the whole mountain. It is 90 mm underfoot with a 16 to 17 m radius, built on a poplar and fiberglass core with a semi-cap construction. The 149 measures 118/90/105 mm and weighs 1325 g per ski.
The trade-off of a forgiving flex is that it favors fun and easy turning over stiff, race-style power. It is very lively and punchy, and older juniors who race will want a stiffer ski.
It is for teenage skiers, roughly 14 to 18, who want an accessible yet punchy ski for the whole mountain. The focus is on pivot and ease of turning, and the 90 mm waist gives lightweight maneuverability and excellent versatility.
The recommended mount point is 6 cm behind center. Bring your skier in and we will help pick the right length and set up the binding.
We think the Camox Birdie Jr is an awesome ski for young skiers ready to explore every corner of the mountain.

This guide is for alpine (downhill) skis. Ski length depends on your height, your ability, and how you like to ski. Use this chart as a starting point, then talk to us about the ski itself: rocker, width, and turn shape all change how long a ski feels.

Quick Rule
- Beginner: ski tip around your chin. Shorter skis turn easily.
- Intermediate: tip between your nose and forehead.
- Advanced: tip around the top of your head, for stability at speed.
- Expert: about 5cm longer than advanced, for hard charging and big-mountain terrain.
Adjust For
- Go longer: heavier build, fast skiing, deep snow, lots of tip rocker.
- Go shorter: lighter build, tight trees and moguls, uphill touring.
- Telemark: if you want a ski for tele, we recommend going down about 10cm from the length you normally like.
