The Hagan BOOST 99 X POW Skis with Core 12 EVO Binding are designed for skiers who want the freedom to explore demanding alpine terrain while maintaining reliable performance on long ski touring days. Combining a lightweight touring construction with a 99 mm waist and 131 mm shovel, this setup delivers a strong balance of stability, flotation, and maneuverability for freeride touring and challenging descents.

The BOOST 99 POW is built for adventurous skiers who enjoy remote lines, long turns, tree runs, and varied snow conditions. Its wider profile provides added stability and confidence when skiing through difficult or changing snow, while the lightweight construction keeps the setup practical for extended tours.

At the heart of the ski is Hagan’s Freerider-Woodcore, made from specially selected poplar wood with longer wood fibers. This construction provides a responsive and stable feel while helping keep overall weight under control. The result is a ski that can perform confidently on descents without becoming unnecessarily heavy during the ascent.

Designed for Freeride Touring

The Hagan BOOST 99 X POW is designed for skiers who don’t want to choose between touring efficiency and downhill performance. Its construction provides the stability required for demanding descents while remaining light enough for longer backcountry tours.

The 99 mm waist offers a versatile platform for freeride touring, while the 131 mm shovel provides additional surface area for improved flotation and stability in deeper or challenging snow. This makes the ski particularly suitable for skiers who enjoy exploring varied alpine terrain away from conventional pistes.

Freerider-Woodcore Construction

The specially developed poplar Freerider-Woodcore uses longer wood fibers to provide a responsive and stable ski construction. Carbon reinforcements in the tip and tail further enhance stability and control, while the titanium reinforcement around the binding area helps provide additional strength where the ski experiences significant forces.

This combination creates a ski that remains composed at different speeds and in changing snow conditions.

Core 12 EVO Binding

The included Core 12 EVO Binding is a robust freetouring binding designed to complement the performance of the BOOST 99 POW. Its automatic ski brake and 5–12 adjustment range provide practical functionality for freeride touring applications.

Tail Lock Skin Mounting

The Tail Lock system allows compatible climbing skins to be secured using a bracket at the tip and a clasp at the tail. This provides a practical and secure method of attaching skins for uphill travel.
