In this, the second season of Head’s breakthrough line that changed how women looked at Head Skis, we take a closer look at the 2016 Great Joy. At 98mm underfoot, this ski is in a category that some women may overlook, but that is a mistake in my book. While many of the 98mm segment tends to be biased to soft snow on the women’s side of the wall, the Head Great Joy stands out as a leader in strength without costing you versatility.
WHO IS IT FOR? Technical woman skiers looking for a versatile ski.
WHO IS IT NOT FOR? Baselodge Betty. While this ski is gorgeous, it likes to be driven, not showcased.
INSIDER TIP: Not that looks matter, but Head has an Attack12 binding that matches this ski perfectly both in esthetics and performance.
