Pure 90

The Most Forgiving Ski in the Lineup and the Easiest Yes for a First Backcountry Setup.

The Experience:

If you're new to ski touring and the sheer number of options feels overwhelming, the Pure 90 is the simplest answer to the most common question: just start here. At 90mm underfoot it's the widest and most versatile ski in the Pure Series, offering enough platform underfoot to feel stable and supportive in a wide range of backcountry conditions without requiring aggressive technique or prior touring experience to enjoy. It's forgiving where it counts, on variable snow, on the descent when your legs are tired, and in the moments where you're still figuring out how a touring setup behaves differently from your resort skis. A Karuba and Poplar core delivers a smooth, confidence-inspiring ride that absorbs chatter and rewards relaxed, natural skiing rather than punishing minor mistakes. The 40:60 uphill-to-downhill character leans gently toward the descent, making it a genuinely enjoyable ski on the way down for skiers who are still building their backcountry technique. You don't need to be an expert to get the most out of this ski, that's precisely why it exists.
