Recommended Sizing Guide
Your ski size is largely determined by both your skiing ability and your preferred style of skiing. For example, an expert skier in Vermont will ski a far different ski than an expert in British Columbia. So take a look at our chart and explanations and find your perfect fit. Your weight also plays a large factor in finding the right ski. If you are either under or over average weight for your height consider downsizing or upsizing, respectively.

Inspired by the vast terrain surrounding Whistler, Prior created the Husume XTC Carbon Ski for backcountry missions with their fair share of cliff hucks and cornice drops. The XTC version of this backside ripper is slightly lighter, featuring a carbon laminate instead of the traditional fiberglass, to increase strength without the weight.
The Hybrid Rocker and 109mm waist let you dreamily float through storm day pow, with a lively maple core that encourages a proper send. While these planks will suit you well on your backcountry powder prowl, sidewalls and camber underfoot lets you lay trenches through firm snow when you pop back in bounds at the end of your epic day.
A freeride touring ski for slaying backcountry pow
109mm waist surfs the steep and deep
Hybrid Rocker sails through powder
Maple core is poppy and playful
Carbon laminate adds strength without the weight
Sidewalls hold a solid edge on hardpack
With Whistler as their R&D lab, it's no surprise that Prior has their big-mountain game dialed
