Hagan Boost

While these are designed as touring skis, they perform well at the resort on soft snow days. However, their lightweight construction means they may feel less stable than a traditional, heavier alpine ski if you are charging hard on firm, icy groomers.

The 99mm waist is a sweet spot for versatility. It provides enough surface area to float comfortably in powder, yet it remains narrow enough to be quick edge-to-edge when you encounter variable snow or tighter trees.

Not at all. The poplar wood provides a natural, damp flex, while the carbon adds the necessary snap and energy without the weight of metal. This combination creates a playful, surfy feel that is easy to maneuver in deep snow.

Yes, at 1650g per ski, the Boost 99 POW is quite efficient for its width. It strikes a strong balance between being light enough for long tours and having enough substance to handle the descent with confidence.

This ski is best suited for backcountry enthusiasts who prioritize deep snow performance but still want a ski that feels agile and manageable. It is ideal for someone who spends most of their time in soft, untracked terrain rather than on hard-packed runs.
