It’s the narrowest of Head’s Flight series, but there’s nothing narrow about the Venturi 95’s vision for all-mountain supremacy. A rocker-camber-rocker combination equals a healthy balance of playfulness and carving excellence, while an elastomer tip and tail stabilizer system helps to dampen things up for a mighty smooth ride. Tester comments included such praise as, “an insanely versatile ski,” “effortless edge transfer,” “rips turns like a slalom ski,” “damper than others in this category, giving it a stable-as-hell feel,” and “has fun pop to it.” From soft snow to hardpack to air travel and everything else, the Venturi is ????.
