ULTRA 79

Fast Uphill. Technical Terrain. No Compromises on Either.

The Experience: 

The Ultra 79 is a dedicated tool for a dedicated skier. At 970g and with a 75:25 uphill-to-downhill character, this ski makes its priorities clear from the first skin track; it exists to go uphill fast, cover serious terrain efficiently, and get you back down safely when the route demands it. The Karuba and Carbon core construction is tuned for responsiveness and low weight above all else, delivering a ski that feels almost weightless underfoot on long ascents and snaps cleanly through jump-turns on the descent without requiring the kind of effort a heavier ski demands. This is the ski for the athlete who thinks in terms of vertical gain per hour, who plans routes around weather windows and daylight, and who views the descent not as the reward but as the final technical challenge of a well-executed objective. It requires technique and commitment to get the most out of, and it repays both generously.
