• HAGAN Boost Series Skis

  First Lines, Powder and Steep Slopes: HAGAN BOOST skis are light enough for long tours, with 94mm and 99mm waist widths, but are by no means oversized. Tip rockers up to 410 mm provide these off-piste rockets plenty of float for high speed turns.The Boost skis are built with 3D "diminishing rib" profiles — a raised central ridge that tapers out towards the ski’s edge for a reduction in swing weight. The rib is taller and narrower near the bindings, progressively widening while getting shallower near the tip and tail. The rib shape keeps the skis stiffer mid-foot while absorbing impact without chatter. Tip and tail rocker help float over soft snow and cut through chop, while camber underfoot and carbon stringers provide stability and stiffness, ensuring they rip the hardback. From flotation devices to powerful chargers, welcome to the most playful line of powder skis on the market.

  The BOOST 99 is built for free riders who like to venture deep into demanding alpine terrain and press the pedal on remote descents. Powerful skiers will enjoy laying down fast, long turns while the carbon and paulownia construction also lends to braiding tight figure 8s in powder. The BOOST 99 is light enough for long tours while its 99 mm waist and 131 mm shovel provide stability and security even in difficult snow conditions.

  The BOOST 99 is equally at home on firmer slopes. It is stable on edge and holds lines securely. This freerider is the tool for adventurers whose exploits guarantee they will experience a wide variety of conditions.

• CARBON CUT CAP TECHNOLOGY
  HAGAN's innovative and proprietary carbon fiber inlay in the ski tip increases stability and greatly reduces vibration, improving control and smoothness on hard chattery surfaces..

  DIE-CUT-BASE
  Our graphite sintered bases with die cut inlays are extremely durable with stone-ground base structure ideally tuned for optimal descending and gliding.

  MULTI RADIUS
  Our multiradius concept lets you adapt to snow conditions and speeds as desired, creating short and long turn radii on a totally individual basis. Increase forward pressure to shorten the turning radius, decrease forward pressure to lengthen the turning radius.

  LOW PROFILE 3D-SHAPE
  Our remarkably thin construction in conjunction with a micro-height sidewall greatly reduces weight. 3-Dimensional top surface shaping increases torsional rgidity and maximizes edge grip.

  ROCKER
  All Hagan ski models are equipped with tip and tail rocker. The rocker length varies amongst models between 250 and 390mm front and 90 to 150mm. Optimized for the ascent, the “tour” rocker height is between 3 and 4mm.

  ELLIPTICAL FRONT SKI
  We designed an elliptical shape to keep the oversized shovel perfectly manageable in any snow condition and all types of terrain. The elliptical shape surfs untracked powder perfectly, but also carves through breakable crust and difficult conditions with control and precision.

  DIAMOND EDGE CAP
  The diamond shaped top cap ensures perfect power transmission and reduces swing weight.
