Head Crux 99 - Backcountry Touring Ski - Ski Review

Product Summary

Due to its lighweight construction the Head Crux 99 is easy to handle not only downhill but also during longer ascents. The Head Crux 99's full retail price is €1,060. The Ski costs roughly €430 more than the average price of all Backcountry Touring Skis, making it a real luxury Ski. This ski is just right for good skiers. Stable but not overpowering. The Crux 99 is a pure freeride ski. Riding on groomers is no problem but due to its fairly wide waist the ski has a strong bias towards powder runs. The ski is available from 163 to 184cm.
