Named for the premier backcountry run accessible from Blackcomb Mountain, the Husume XTC Carbon is Prior’s answer to the quiver-of-one backcountry ski question. The XTC carbon construction allows you to trade grams for vertical feet on the skin track. It blends rockered powder tip and tail, traditional underfoot camber, moderately long sidecut, sweet flex, and a squared tail. The result is a ski that kills it in the powder and still has a enough bite for everyday use on Whistler in-bound chunder and hardpack.
