HEAD GREAT JOY 98 REVIEW — 2017

In homage to one Jerry Lee Lewis, one tester said, “Great balls of fire, these skis are fun!” Head utilizes a sandwich cap build with fiberglass and Graphene around the wood core. Graphene is an incredibly high strength-to-weight ratio compound that lightens the load while providing increased rigidity. The result is a snappy ski that’ll easily navigate everything from crud to chutes to moguls and trees. Eighty percent of the ski features traditional camber for a stable ride while the early rise in the tip allows for float and instills a nimble nature. “This ski loves to turn…it snaps around like a World Cup slalom ski,” said one tester in favor of the tight turn radius. Another said, simply, “It’s an all-mountain joy for the ladies.”

*Ski dimensions are for the 168.
