Hi,
I am looking to get beta on the Head lineup for this year. I live in Summit County CO and see quite a few different conditions throughout the year. I am currently looking for some info on what ski selection would work best for me, and to get feedback in general from the head lineup.
I work in a ski shop for the winter and last year had access to a large demo fleet. This year we have some new lineups in our fleet. I don't have any access to Head ski's, I did last year have a pool of Armada, Salomon, Rossi, and K2. The type of ski in particular that stood out of these brands was the Salomon Gun. I loved its response in mid deep powder, and its performance in the trees blew anything away. I also was a big fan of the K2 Explorer in moderate powder to any sort of crud busting.
I already have the ar6 and recon in my quiver, so I'm looking for that all around freeride ski that will handle the steep powder bumps, tree skiing, and deep powder flats that I need some lift to get through. I would like to add either the Jimi 110 or Joe 105 to my bag, and I'm wondering if anyone out there has tried them and can make some comparisons for me.
Particularly I'm looking for how the rocker is on the Jimi 110, or is it just a full out reverse camber?
Are either a responsive ski for tree conditions or soft bumps?
Thanks
