The women’s lineup from Head got a major revamping this year with the addition of Graphene, a super lightweight and extremely strong material that plays a major role in the overall weight distribution of the ski. Utilizing it in the tip and tail keeps the weight centered on the ski, and rocker in the tip makes for easy turn initiation and great float. The rest of the Head Big Joy skis’ profile features traditional camber. “This ski makes me ski better!” exclaimed one tester. “It’s so poppy and easy to turn, and even though they’re ultralight, they feel grounded.”
