head skis

Here is a Cage Match that could have happened last year, but no one requested it. It is hard to argue with what Head is doing right now. It is hitting on all cylinders, and the Kores are no exception. Head has been able to produce a light yet powerful ski with the Kore, and it’s a winner ... but...

Fast background, 29 did all the junior stuff, went to college now here I am. I am getting back into racing, and wanting to get a new pair of GS skis, I really like the head stuff so far. Have a beer league I mess around in as well New York Masters, the issue is the right radius for our smaller...

Just a thread to capture the latest rumors on 2019-2020 gear. I know, most of us have yet to demo most of this season's gear, but looking ahead can never be wrong. Also, I have to decide whether it's worth booking quite an expensive test week late March. So, what's the news? I heard people...

The 98mm category is a packed one, offering many options and models with a lot of overlap. When any new collection comes out in a crowded segment, the manufacturer tries to let us know how it wants the skis presented. Some other review sites regurgitate that information, but at Pugski, we give...

The vast majority of my skis are Stockli Lazer series - some with Marker WC piston race plate. I love the way that they ski. My everyday work ski to teach on is a Lazer AX. Looking for an in-bounds powder ski. Looking for something a bit more playful than Stockli Lazer's vibe. I've never had...

@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...

The two hard-snow skis that go Head to ... umm ... up against each other here are the Head Supershape iTitan and Fischer's Curv GT. These two skis deserve a throwdown that the majority of readers will be interested in. They define what Cage Matches are all about: both are designed for the same...

I've got a chance to pick up some 16/17 Supershape Speeds in 170 for short money. Looking for feedback as to whether I'd like the 170 and should jump on the deal, or whether I'm better suited for a 163. I'm 5'9" 150lb male, solid advanced but not expert, no racing background. I've got the 16/17...

Here are links to all of the reviews we have compiled of the 2019 skis. Full List By brand:

Other threads about how we choose our skis, along with some brand recognition chatter has me wondering if the old adage "Win on Sunday, buy on Monday" still holds true in some walks of life. Examples Do we take a second look at Head skis because Lindsey Vonn or Ted Ligety, or Bode Miller won...

This week on Chairlift Chat we take a closer look at the new 2019 Head Kore 99. It's definitely a valuable addition to the Kore collection and its performance feels slightly different than the other models. Check out our thoughts and if you've been on a pair, let us know what you think!

Terry Godbout from ELITE SKIING is trying to track down some info on a particular ski: "Hi Dave, I vaguely remember a HEAD ski, possibly the XRC, that was all fiberglass and had three hollow tubes running the length of the ski., Seems to me that they had massive quality control problems with...

Hey Guys, New poster here - Hailing from Canada (Ski out of Ottawa, eastern Quebec). I've really enjoyed the discussions I've been reading regarding skis, whether it be WC vs consumer, or the Masters review roundups. The bottom line up front for this post has to do with some final...

Head Monster 83 Dimensions: 131-83-110 Radius: 16.7m@177cm Sizes: 149, 156, 163, 170, 177 Size tested: 177 Design: New Construction 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...

From the FIS website.

Hi guys, I am wondering how would you compare these 2 skis. I am an aspiring intermediate (~15 days/yr) looking for a frontside ski that I can work with to refine my techniques. I am 6'2 160lb and live in Seattle/PNW. I have been on HEAD rev75 (a beginner ski?) for 3 years. In general I like...

Head Supershape iMagnum Dimensions: 131-72-110 Radius: 13.1m@170cm Sizes: 149, 156, 163, 170, 177 Size tested: 170 Design: Carryover/NGT Philpug: The Supershape i.Magnum unfortunately suffers from middle-child syndrome. When there was just the Supershape i.Speed, it had a following. Then Head...

The more I research skis, the more options get added to my list to fill in the mid-70s to mid-80s gap. This is dangerous. :eek: So curious to hear any thoughts on the Head Super Joy vs. the Supershape iRally vs the Supershape iTitan. I'm 5'1", 112 lbs, advanced, and ski in Tahoe, and I demo'ed...

These two Head skis are literally side by side on the ski wall at a local ski shop, so you wouldn't be surprised to hear the question, "Which is better for me?" Both have Head's Graphene-Koroyd-carbon construction. Both are extremely lightweight. Both are great in a variety of conditions. Both...
