The Joffre is Prior’s most popular touring ski and gets its namesake from Joffre Lakes Provincial Park which is a Mecca for backcountry skiers. The Joffre skis could be considered the little brother of the award-winning Husume ski with its similar shape although narrower waist width. At 100mm underfoot, the Joffre is designed for those steeper, less accessible lines, yet despite their thinner waist they still offer ample float in deeper snow conditions. This lightweight backcountry ski can take on varied snowpacks and terrain and even in-bound chunder and hardpack.
