“The Ultra is ultra awesome”, says Hagan. Since it’s an improved version of the awesome Cirrus, we’d have to agree. Hagan added mini ABS sidewalls to the Ultra for improved edge hold and durability. They also tweaked the shape to increase the effect edge length and directional stability. The ski maintains its prior charms with a low weight, generous rocker, and impressive carving ability. The Ultra is perfect for long-distance alpine missions and fitness skiing. We are ultra-excited about this version.
- Diamond Side Wall construction is a structural angle design with integrated ABS sidewalls.
- Multi-radius sidecut lets you dictate your turns with confidence and agility on the mountain.
- Carbon fiber top and bottom layers make the ski surprisingly stiff and stable for the weight.
- Paulownia wood core is the standard for lightweight ski performance that is just plain fun.
- Nano Highspeed stone ground race base means the ski is ready to rock out of the plastic.
Update 2017/18: Hagan renamed the ski Ultra 76 (from simply Ultra) and redid the graphics. It's still fun!

Questions & Reviews

Whats the good binding for these skis? Do you have any on sale?

Nearly all the bindings we have could work with this ski, but I’d recommend something a little lighter weight for the narrower-waisted ski. Click on bindings and sort by price to find some deals!
Answer this question:
While I've found this ski can hold it's own in most conditions, where it really crushes other lightweight, low-fat skis is on firm snow. From corduroy to refrozen mank, these feel so much more damp (ie less chattery) than other lightweight skis I've used. If you're an in-bounds skinner who wants to really rip the downhill but not be penalized too greatly on the uphill, these are the ticket.
