They are the ultimate all mountain light touring ski. Hagan's history of producing high performance lightweight touring skis can be felt right away in these skis' DNA. The Ultra Series are exceptionally light and agile in all snowy conditions! Get off piste and point them straight into the powder.The Ultra 87's profile and design makes it perfect for all-mountain, all-conditions ski touring. Wide skis are fun in 12+ inches of blower powder, but in hard or variable snow conditions (or groomers!) wide skis perform worse on the descents. And wide skis always make for lumbering ascents. Except in deep powder, wide skis don't create easier ski touring, they make worse ski touring. Bigger isn't better. Ditch the super wide training wheel skis if less than 75% of your day will be in fresh powder - or you prefer to ski further and faster so you can descend more lines. If you are fortunate enough to have multiple sets of skis, get a set of our Boost 99s or Boost 107s for those 5% of days with bottomless light and dry powder. For the other 95% of your ski touring days skis that are lighter and faster will be more enjoyable. Get the highly awarded HAGAN Ultra 87s!
