The Ultra 89 is where the Performance line begins for most skiers, and for good reason. It carries all the hallmarks of the Ultra Series philosophy: a lightweight Karuba and Carbon core construction that keeps weight low without sacrificing the structural integrity you need on demanding terrain, and an uphill-focused character that makes long days and big vertical feel genuinely achievable. But compared to the rest of the Ultra lineup, the Ultra 89 skis with a friendliness and forgiveness that makes it accessible to a much wider range of tourers. It's the natural first step for the fitness-oriented skier ready to move beyond an all-mountain setup, and an equally compelling choice for the ski mountaineer who needs a lightweight platform but occasionally encounters terrain or conditions where a little more width underfoot makes a meaningful difference. This is a ski that rewards ambition without punishing the skier who's still building toward it.
Fitness tourers stepping up from an all-mountain setup. Ski mountaineers who need a lightweight ski with a touch more float for variable alpine conditions. Skiers ready to take their uphill performance seriously without fully committing to a race-oriented build.
