What Head says about the Crux 105 Pro:
“For backcountry enthusiasts who love a wide ski, the Crux 105 Pro delivers lightweight maneuverability for touring up, and HEAD's renowned downhill performance for skiing down.
The Crux 105 Pro delivers the best of both worlds for touring: Lightweight maneuverability for the hike up, and HEAD's renown downhill performance for the ski down. Whether it's a backcountry powder lap or a pre-work ski at your favorite resort, the new Crux 105 Pro offers the widest footprint in the collection. The 105mm waist increases float and versatility in a variety of snow conditions and a full triaxial carbon jacket adds torsional stiffness for reliable edge hold. The Crux 105 Pro further reduces weight without sacrificing performance thanks to a Graphene and Karuba wood core and a design that omits topsheet material.”
