“Fast,” “stable,” “beast,” “great edge hold at speed,” “snappy edge-to-edge,” … See a trend, here? The powerful characteristics of the Head Monster 98 earned it perfect scores in the carving and stability categories. This ski allows you to ski with both the speed and handling of a world-class race car. A burly silver fir wood core along with Titanal and Graphene—a crazy-strong, ultra-light material that allows the ski to be thinned without loss of stiffness—work together to provide incredible stability sans bulk. Camber throughout the ski with a touch of tip rocker also up its carving prowess while providing ballerina-like nimbleness in soft snow, crud, etc.
