Head Skis USA Crux 105 Pro Ski - 2026 Black, 177cm

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""The Crux 105 Pro is one of the lightest skis I’ve ever toured on, but it still feels solid on the descent. The 105mm waist gives me enough float for deep days, and the carbon jacket makes it surprisingly stable and responsive on firm snow. It’s a perfect balance of uphill ease and downhill confidence.""Who It’s ForBackcountry Skiers Seeking Lightweight Power:This ski is designed for touring-focused skiers who want efficiency on the skin track without compromising stability on the way down. Perfect for experienced backcountry riders and resort skiers looking for a light, floaty setup that can handle long climbs and variable descents. What It’s ForTouring and Powder-Focused Exploration:The Crux 105 Pro thrives in the backcountry, where its 105mm waist adds float for deep snow and versatility across mixed conditions. The rocker-camber-rocker profile and carbon construction give it edge hold and stability on firm or technical descents, making it ideal for all-season touring missions. Why We Like ItUltralight, Stable, and Purpose-Built Together:We like the Crux 105 Pro because it strips weight without stripping performance. The Karuba wood core paired with Graphene and a full triaxial carbon jacket keeps it light yet stiff, while the omitted topsheet further reduces grams. It’s a touring ski that feels just as dialed on the downhill as it does efficient on the up."
