Tried them yesterday on Blackcomb Written by Ski Review Guest on 2007-01-18 10:24:24
Tried 3 different skis in total (Monster 77, Atomic B5, and Bandit B2). The guy at the demo was all the sugar about these. I thought - hmmm...usual salesman practice. Besides I never thought seriously about Head. But this day they didn’t have Zenith 9, so I decided to try these. And I must say, it was definitely a pleasant surprise to me that day. Stable, responsive, just perfect shaped turns to my taste. I’m a freeride/off-piste advanced skier, but I had lots of fun going on crud, hardpack, grooms and bumps that day with this pair. Couldn’t try them in powder that day, because of absence of it, but with that advertised “60/40 powder to piste ratio” I can only drool about how it would be taking those into powder. Again – never thought seriously about Head, but now – even thinking of probably getting one of those mountain Cadillacs! |
