What would be better for Powder , Elan ripstick 86 or Head Monster 83?
I am not big fan of Powder ,but like to have second pair of the skis for one of those days and do not need anything wider then 86 .
Thank you .

With new boots purchased, it's probably time to start thinking about replacing my 7 year old Nordica FireArrow skis (172mm-132/80/116 R14.5). I had Head skis before (that I got around 2005) and really liked them (until I noodled them over time). I want to explore the Head brand again but won't...

I passed down my skis to my growing son (head ipeak pro 172 cm), and need new skis! I am a 48yo advance (not expert) 5'11" 185lbs skier, mostly skiing groomed trails in the east.
Since I'm not getting younger, I think I am looking at a forgiving ski, but I still like to carve fast.
I am...

would 84 be too wide for east coast groomed trails
I really like the Blister Quiver selections. They tend to run more for the Western skiers with touring options. I'm in the Midwest and travel out west several times per season. Still looking for my optimal quiver. 53 years old, skiing since I was 6. Height 5'8". Weight is now 130ish as...
I recently returned to the sport after a brief seven year hiatus from skiing and am now in the market for new ski.
About me:
40yo, 5’-11”, and a portly 230lb athletic intermediate level skier piloting vintage (2005) Head iXRC 800 in 170 length (65mm under foot).
I ski mostly groomers...
@Superbman asked for this one, and even though I really like both of these skis, is this really a viable Cage Match? The whole premise of the Cage Matches is that they are usually between two skis that are commonly compared; at first I thought these two would not be on the same radar, but the...

Sizes: 156, 164, 172

This is a new ski for Atomic this year. It shouldn’t turn as quickly as it does and still have the off-piste power that it does. I took it into some moguls off the top of the...

For 2019, Head revised the entire line of Monsters. I wish Head would rename the line as "Monster" really isn't accurate. A few iterations back, the Monsters were...
I am an advanced level Australian recreational skier. If finances line up I may be looking to do some ski instructing over either the coming season, or the one after (initially full time over school holidays and probably casual thereafter).
I'm looking to buy a ski devoted to "front side...

So I am going to keep this fairly quick.
For the past 3 years my main "teaching" skis have been a pair of 174cm BLizzard X power 8.0 Tis. They have been a fantastic carver and actually decent ski in skied out bumps and woods, and even skied it in powder, the length and relative softness though...
I know there are no stupid questons just stupid people but I am not sure about this. I just bought new skis online and I am formulating a plan to get the initial set-up correct. I bought 2016 Dynastar Glory 84 (needs 2 degree side edge) and Head Monster 83 (needs 3 degree). The steps so far...
