Named after a backcountry skiing paradise near Whistler, the Joffre XTC Carbon is Prior’s tool of choice for steep couloirs or peak bagging deep in the backcountry. With a 101mm width underfoot, the ski performs very well on steeper pitches and less accessible runs. 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 squared tail. The result is a ski that has a enough bite for everyday use in-bound but has the lightness you want for long approaches and "get it done" missions.

- Rubber Foil dampening reduces chatter when riding fast on hardpack
- Durable, impact-resistant UHMW polyethylene sidewalls
- Tough Rockwell 48 steel edges are easy to tune
