 Poster: A snowHead

This looks like a ski I might enjoy (short radius all mountain light weight). Anyone tried them? Can you get them flat as I use touring boots and I don’t think they will fit in the Head bindings?

@BertieG, as far as I know the V shape series all have a system binding. I looked at them last year when I was after new piste skis but the binding wouldn't take a WTR sole so crossed them off the list.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

The Head V Shape V 10 is not available in the flat. The Scott Slight 83 is a better option in every respect IMO plus it only comes in the flat and is available from your local Scott dealer or from a dodgy scouse bloke in the East Midlands  . I've sold/mounted loads of Slight 83's for guys'n'gals using AT boots etc.

@mgrolf, @spyderjon, thanks, I currently have the Slight 93 which I’m loving and was interested in going a bit narrower and the Slight 83 was on the radar. Would like to hear from anyone who has skied them.
At 70 kg and for short/medium turns 170 or 177cm ?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

The 83 skis just like the 93 but narrower so is a tad faster edge to edge. Construction and geometry is the same. If you already have the 93's then I can't see the benefit of the 83's unless you are then planning to swap the 93's for a wider ski to make a two ski quiver with greater seperation.

Like many skiers I have worked my way up the width spectrum peaking at the Icelandic Shaman which I keep for off piste trips. Now slowly working back down the waist sizes for piste biased holidays, starting with the Volkl 90 eight and more recently the Slight 93. Normally only take one pair away at a time. On one short break last year we had a big dump and was surprised at how good the Slights were. Curiosity has me wondering how narrow can you go and still have a good time in deep snow?
My guess is the sweet spot for a true all mountain ski is probably 88-93 but I do like a ski that’s quick edge to edge.

My Blizzard zero G 85's work just fine in all powder. Bit more tricky when conditions lean more towards crust.
