Hagan Ski Mountaineering

Tour Professional Race Ski

Some call randonée a combination of the most punishing parts of Nordic and backcountry skiing. If you're one of the few who don't get discouraged by that (mostly true) statement, congratulations. Ready yourself for another season, equal parts rowdy and grueling, spent in your Lycra with the Hagan Ski Mountaineering Tour Professional Race Ski. Lovingly crafted high in the Austrian Alps by a company who's kept its focus solely on touring and mountaineering skis for 90 plus years, the Tour Professional makes a triumphant return this year boasting micro-ABS sidewalls for the first time ever. Historically one of the lightest race skis available, the Tour Professional brings more confidence to the descent for 2017, without gaining an ounce of weight.

For all of the times you've motored to the top of a climb, only to be sketched out by both terrain and the nature of your skinny, unpredictable skis the entire way down, rejoice in the fact that the Tour Professional's elliptical, rockered tips were designed to actually float through powder and remain stable through inconsistent chop or ice. Hagan focused on increasing surface area for a more predictable platform that doesn't require copious amounts of luck to stay in control of on a steep descent. This year, bite into crusty slick spots and the micro-ABS sidewalls along the midsection of the ski will hold instead of skittering out underneath you with the Diamond Edge Cap construction giving it durability through bare spots that belies its lightness as well as quick, playful turn initiation.
