iiyamadude 6 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Any of the fine folk on here ride Head skis? Got a good potential deal on some brand new Xenon Xi 10.0 skis and wondering what first hand experience anyone on here might have with Head (also looking at reviews online of course). The guy in the shop - who I trust - had good things to say and I have been reading some fairly positive thoughts. Edit: the deal I have is for the brand new skis and bindings waxed up and ready for 60,000 yen. Seems good to me (especially when the other shop I asked was asking 80,000 for the same). Cheers!

SKI 15 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I've never owned any Head myself but I tried them out iiyamadude - felt good. Good multi condition ski I enjoyed it. What sort of terrain you want it for? Link to post Share on other sites
stemik 14 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 i beleive this ski to be a non-powder ski...(i could be wrong) Head make great racing skis so if its a groomer ski than im sure you cant go wrong..did you check the net to find any similar bargains..like last years ski model?

@tokyo 14 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I had a look at them in the local store yesterday. Nice skis and the guy in the shop (knowledgeable guy) seemed to be positive about them. Damn there are so many skis to choose from. Link to post Share on other sites
