head skis

Some say 50 is the new 40; in the ski world, I'm beginning to think 90 is the new 88. As many of you know, I've been praising the Head Joy line for a few years. Head's lightweight Graphene technology was first used in the women's skis and is now being implemented in the men's lineup. The one...

With all the excitement from Killington, it is good to check in w/the men at LL. Yesterday's DH went off w/out a hitch. Podium: Feuz, Mayer, Svindal (All Head) Mayer and Svindal returning from recent injuries looking very strong. This course suits Svindal as well w/the long gliding section at...

Granted my modern World Cup ski experience is filtered through the overlords of the Olympic Channel but on more than one occasion I've heard the expert, i.e. Bode Miller refer to a skier's equipment issues in such a way you can tell it's more than just the tuning or boot fit... I get the...

I live in Atlanta and am in the market for new skis. I would like to try before I buy, but I don't have a ton of ski days each year (and, unsurprisingly, none in ATL). When I am out west skiing, I am with family and friends and don't like taking the time to swap in and out skis to demo them...

Um, 112 vs 117? Did someone send a knife to a gunfight? Well, no. This cage match was requested by one of our loyal followers, and as I told him, I even skied them on the same day last year. I remember it well, it was a powder day at Northstar and I was skiing the DPSs in the untracked Sugar...

Hello I'm in search of this ski. I'm a part time instructor in western Massachusetts and also work at a local Vermont mountain, you can usually find in the lift line checking tickets. I first noticed this ski when every Ski Patroller that came through my line was on these skis. I finally...

I'm going to put this here just because we haven't had a Ted Ligety chat in a while. This FB Page often makes videos private. For now its public so the link works.

Yes, we have talked about the most influential ski models but what are the most innovative brands? Salomon with the introduction of the S727, The Monocoque ski? Power Rating ski sizing and volume sizing boots? Volant with the stainless steel design, Shane McConkey's Spatula, The Chubb and G-Max...

I am new to PugSki.com and was on Epic for some time; wealth of information, I hope I can give back somehow this season. I need new skis for an upcoming BASI Level 2 instructors course. I have read the various reviews of the Head Rally and Stockli AX and both sound like great fun with the...

We all know Jon is a crazy car guy and loves his camo, here is his new toy... For when the Lambo is too warm and fuzzy.

In the past, Head has done a great job with its awesome race skis, as well as the Supershape, Monster, and Instinct collections. All have received critical and consumer praise, and no one can question Head's race results. The hole was Head's big-mountain skis; while they skied well, they never...

She's the oldest female to win a medal on a World Championship. Stuhec won her fifth DH this season and surprided me. What I've heard is that she completely reinvented her pre season dryland and came in to this season much stronger. Very happy for F Monsén coming in 16th in men's DH. Yong guy...

Thinking of buying a pair of these if I can find a pair in 184 cm at a good price. Was wanting a pair of Stockli Laser AX but having a child who wants to go to a music conservatory has put those skis on the back burner. Anyone have any leads on these?

Wallflowers need not reply to this comparison; in fact, just keep moving along. The Bonafide and Monster 98 are the two heavy hitters in this segment. I am not saying these are 11/10th skis, but they are definitely for stronger, more aggressive chargers. These two skis also have some of the...

We started with our ever-popular Steals & Deals, but added a new twist: the first phase of our “Tester's Choice.” Tester's Choice is a compilation of our reviewers' favorite 2017 skis. We will stick with the same categories as Steals & Deals, but these are more often the skis that manufacturers...

Head was generous enough to drop off four pairs of the all-new Supershapes for us to try at Arapahoe Basin over Mother's Day week. We received a 170 Magnum (green), 170 Rally (red), and 170 and 177 Titan (blue). Unfortunately, the iSpeed (yellow) was not available. These skis were out on demo...
