HEAD Crux 93 Pro Ski

HEAD has historically been an alpine ski company, so it's no surprise that their touring ski lineup has strong downhill chops. What is a surprise is that they've managed to achieve this at weights that make us here at Skimo Co go, "Oh, tell me more!" The HEAD Crux 93 Pro is a versatile ski, made for everything from firm steeps up high, charging through the wide-open apron, to enjoying every last turn through the trees on your way out. Its construction makes for an impressively stout ski at a weight that you won't mind hauling in for your next long objective. Lightweight Karuba and Graphene in the core make for a powerful flex and damp suspension, while the Triaxial Carbon Jacket provides torsional stiffness throughout the ski for a very reliable edge hold. In lieu of a traditional topsheet, HEAD instead shows off the skis' internal construction through an anti-snow coating, an innovation they call Topless Tech. So on those sweltering spring days out in the heat of the sun, only you, and not your skis, need to pop their tarp. The Crux 93 Pro from HEAD is ready to rock n' roll wherever you set your sights.
