What better way to talk about Head skis for this coming year than this awesome photo of Maier in action, in training and having the good fortune to be in Portillo, Chile.
There is a definite Renaissance at the Austrian manufacturer. They have, through the quality of the their products, and most certainly their [...]

Very smart looking and nippy intermediate to advanced all-mountain carvers. With the target predominantly the groomed runs the iXRC’s are traditionally very strong ground for Head and this years do not disappoint.As you would expect the tip is wide, engages easily, there is a light agile feel but they do settle into either [...]
Super-light, the Monster Alpinist is an all-mountain, freeride touring ski weighing in at a paltry 1190 gms, so the Alpinist is very much ideal for the serious ski tourer. As with a ski this light it is designed for heading up the hills as down them so the width is reduced to a [...]
The new Mojo Mix are tough park and pipe specific skis. Built with Head’s strongest “Heavy Duty” construction this is a park ski designed and manufactured for durability and to deal with the immense strains put on the skis when landing, spinning and especially railing.
79 mm underfoot for stomping and sliding, centre mounted [...]
Expert skiers will love the beefy Monster 88’s for back-country fun and those European conditions when you never quite know what snow you’re going to encounter. The strong and predictable sandwich construction is great and batters through crud, is smooth both on and off-piste but they are obviously not as agile as this [...]
A great looking, fresh and fashionable offer from Head. All-terrain security plus a bit of life from a ski that is kinda between the unisex Monster 78’s and 82’s. So excellent performance on the groomed trails, enough support for the majority in fresh powder plus the agility for short snappy turns and [...]
Another great all-mountain ski. Tamer than the excellent 82 mm Monster but nifty on-piste and a little quicker edge to edge. even though I come from race background I still preferred the 82’s as they have a little more grunt and are better fro blasting around. Guess the 78’s are slightly [...]
With broad appeal the Monster 82’s are the bread and butter or perhaps the creme de la creme of Head’s extensive Monster line-up.With a truly versatile 82 mm underfoot, sandwich construction, medium to large turn radius these skis are happy cruising the groomed runs and laying down a decent carve or giving you a [...]
Yeah, this is a great pair of all-mountain carvers. They Chip S’shapes have the composure of a concert pianist, a delicate touch upon the snow but are backed up with some a hard-wood sandwich core that has power and depth for excellent control and feedback - this is a very well tuned pair [...]
Fresh Head fat twins - the new Mojo 94’s are aimed the funky freerider-styler looking for a versatile all-mountain to back-country package that they can spin, float, huck wherever they find themselves inspired.
Available in a broad range of sizes, from 166 cm to 187 cm, and featuring Head’s super-smooth sandwich construction the 94’s are [...]
