The VAN DEER H-POWER 89 takes the race-inspired DNA of the H-POWER line and gives it more room to roam. At 89mm underfoot, it is the widest ski in the series and the most versatile, built for skiers who still want a clean, powerful turn but do not want the groomers deciding where the day goes.
A poplar-beech wood core reinforced with two layers of Titanal gives the H-POWER 89 a strong, composed feel underfoot. Full ABS sidewalls and race edges keep the connection precise on firm snow, while the wider platform adds stability and support when conditions turn soft, chopped up, or more variable.
What makes the 89 interesting is that it does not give up the sharpness you expect from a ski with Marcel Hirscher’s fingerprints on it. It still feels dynamic, responsive, and confident on edge, but there is more forgiveness and more freedom when you leave the perfect surface behind.
This is the H-POWER for skiers who want serious carving performance and enough all-mountain range to keep exploring long after the corduroy is gone.

- Two layers of Titanal add damping, stability, and confidence when the speed picks up
- Full ABS sidewalls and race edges maintain strong grip on firmer snow
