Poster: A snowHead

Anybody got a pair and what do you think?
I'm considering getting a pair. On Z9s just now but just want something with a bit more punch particularly in short turns without going for a full blow slalom ski.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

snowaddict, personally not a fan of all the gimmicky arms. Had a go on them through the bumps- was decidedly unimpressed- i don't know what it was they just weren't nice skis to stand on! Plus the orange clashed with my red boots. Stick on the Z9's.

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

snowaddict, I hear they are good but the they're expensive and I can't believe the switchable arms will ever be used. Go for the 9S Radical Oversize instead.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks for all the thoughts.
Not an option to stay on the Z9s, just didn't enjoy them enough. Been on the 9s skis a couple of years ago but not really wanting to go that direction again.
Anyway, I've gone and got a pair of the Mutix as got them for just under £300 so what the heck. Not bothered about the arms so will probably just leave the short ones on.

snowaddict, great price... i was looking at these as well but in the end got some head supershape magnums at the same price point as yours. I would be interested what you think of them...

Hi skimottaret!
I decided at that price it was worth an experiment! Paid £290 I think it was. Think the BASI offer last season had them for more that that, can't remember now.
Can't wait to give them a blast though...only a few more months to go!
The Z9s will end up on the plastic very shortly as my curret plastic skis are about nearing the end of their life.
Haven't tried Heads but would like to. Also would love to try out some Elans sometime.

snowaddict, I pre-ordered mine and they wont be in till sept or so. I havent skied heads and i am going on recommendation. fingers crossed that i will get on okay with them... My ski bud in courchevel loves his elan 14's but is indifferent to the magfires. I have to say his skiing is much better when he is on the 14's, very turny but stable looking ski.
For me it was the Elan 14 or magnums and i got a deal of sorts on the heads.

Hee hee, don't know what is worse, staring at new skis now and not being able to use them, or waiting for your new skis to arrive!!
I've skied Rossi's for the past 16 years and have skied some great ones. Salomon have never really done it for me. It's all horses for courses I guess.
Hope you love the Magnums when they arrive, they certainly get great reviews.
