You know those narrow, cliff-lined descents that make you pucker? They require a ski that's as brave as you are. With a super-light Karuba woodcore wound with fiberglass and topped with carbon, the TX98 dares to push the limits with you. It's lightweight for any ski, but for a 98mm-waisted tool that can handle powder, wind crust, crud, hardpack, and chop, it's stupid-light. With the popularity of resort uphill and backcountry skiing exploding, the TX98 holds serve as a premium, ultra-versatile option for grizzled folks who wear their tattered touring layers to parties or eager newbies who fuel their young human-powered careers with pure stoke.
