Head Crux 99 Pro Skis

With a 99 mm waist, the Head Crux 99 Pro balances float in deeper snow and maneuverability in tighter terrain, making it ideal for big mountain backcountry adventures where terrain and conditions vary wildly.

The Crux 99 Pro is built using a hybrid core of Karuba wood, graphene, and carbon (with fiberglass/laminate where needed) to give stiffness, pop, and stability, while still keeping things light. It uses HEAD’s LYT Tech construction and skips unnecessary topsheet material in favour of weight savings, yet retains enough substance for serious control. In its 184 cm length it comes in around 1,385 grams per ski, giving you climb-friendly weight without feeling too wispy. Rocker at tip and tail plus camber underfoot lets the ski initiate turns easily in powder or soft snow, yet bite when you edge in firmer zones. The turning radius is about 22.7 m in the 184 cm (+/- depending on length), which means long sweeping arcs suit this ski better than snappy pivots. Dimensions are approximately 132/99/117 mm.

On snow the Crux 99 Pro rides with surprising confidence. It flies up skintracks, but it's not just about the climb—it handles sketchy snow, mixed snow surfaces, spring slush, hardpack transitions, even crud, more than adequately. You don’t suffer too much from chatter given its stiffness and dampness; there's enough backbone to push speed, hold edges, and not get tossed around on steeper descents, though as expected it shines most when you can stretch out. If you grab this ski, you’ll notice it doesn’t pretend—it knows what it’s built for: versatility across mountain zones, for when you’re not sure whether the day will be blower powder, spring firmness, or mixed lurking.

This is a ski for advanced to expert backcountry skiers who want one ski that handles everything from long tours to demanding downhills, rather than having two or three specialized sticks. If you often ski deep, like float, and also bump into firm or variable snow, this one gives you a lot of performance for the trade. If you live somewhere almost always icy, or need something ultra-light for skin ups above everything, you might consider a narrower or lighter ski; if powder is your only concern, something wider would give more float. But for most folks wanting a versatile tour-to-freeride tool, the Crux 99 Pro stands out.
