Hagan makes backcountry skiing equipment for people like you – active people with a love for winter recreation in the mountains.
Hagan makes gear we use and believe in, because we love alpine ski touring for the same reasons you do – elevating our heart rates while we elevate our bodies and spirits in nature's beauty. We believe there is nothing as inspiring and invigorating as silently climbing through still woods, emerging into glistening pure snow fields at dawn and descending through the weightlessness of fresh snow.
We are the oldest ski making company in the world and pioneers in backcountry skiing. We developed the sport, specialize in the sport and live the lifestyle.
Hagan didn't jump on the backcountry skiing bandwagon after the sport became popular. We built the wagon. Climb aboard.
Hagan Ultra, Core and Boost series skis are equipped with our advanced 3D Tapered Rib construction to reduce weight and create the perfect flex pattern. The rib is tall and narrow near the bindings, widening while getting thinner near the tips and tails. Outboard of the 3D Diminishing Rib the entire surface of the ski tapers down to a very narrow edge, eliminating unnecessary material to save weight.
Titanal top-surface sheets reinforce binding mounting strength while strengthening and stiffening the skis in the mid-ski area. (Except for the Core 84 Lite, which is designed to be a softer flexing, more forgiving version of the Core 84 for lighter or less advanced/aggressive skiers.) Inlaid tip notches in the Ultra and Core series are durable and provide the most secure and easiest skin attachment. Paulownia cores, carbon tips and tails and bottom stringers create ultra light high performance skis.
HAGAN stands for designing and building innovative, premium, high quality and reliable products that reflect our deep passion for the sport of backcountry skiing. As an independent, family-owned Austrian company that has been under family ownership since it was founded in 1924, HAGAN takes pride in making reliable backcountry gear. Likewise, HAGAN USA is a family owned and operated business.
HAGAN produces high-performance specialty ski mountaineering gear that emphasizes reliability, durability and lightweight performance. We develop gear that reflects our consumer’s demand for innovation and ultimate performance along with our family businesses’ love of the Alps and people who share our passion. HAGAN’s proprietary technologies are ever-evolving while new technologies are being added alongside them to extract the highest performance from our gear. We believe ski touring is an incredibly healthy and rewarding activity and we want to encourage and enable more people to enjoy it.
HAGAN USA brings the deep-rooted Austrian ski heritage to North America. HAGAN's headquarters is still in the original small Austrian village of the founding brothers, led by one of the brother's grandsons. HAGAN is known for thoughtfully designed, high-performing, top quality, no fuss equipment.
Trying to decide between the Boost 12, Core 12 EVO and Pure 8/10 and not sure of the differences? The main difference is in the brakes. Read this. It should help. Let's start with the Boost 12 versus the Core 12 EVO. The heels are identical except - very big except - the Boost 12 brakes aren't on the heels.
HAGAN makes the widest range of backcountry skis.
That can make deciding which ski is best for you (or a particular outing) difficult.
We make powder-focused skis (Boost Series), All-Mountain skis (Core Series), super Light and Fast skis (Ultra Series), Classic Value skis (Pure Series) and even BC Nordic and Approach skis (Special Series).
These points comparing and contrasting our different ski lines and models may help!
