Wreak havoc on your senses this season, no matter where you ski on the mountain. Head's Great ONE ski is the female-friendly version of their bestselling men's Monster all terrain skis, but the Great ONE has a lighter design with a better balance point for women who love black-diamond runs,other expert's-only challenges. The Great ONE features a snappy sandwich construction with Adaptive Intelligence Technology. That means that Head put these things called Intellifibers at 45-degree angles in front of the ski bindings, so those mechanical impulses created by bouncing around in hard snow turn into electrical energy that stiffens the Intellifibers. When the Intellifibers turn rigid, you feel more control with improved rebound,ski torsional stiffness. The cool thing is that Intellifibers only stiffen the Great ONE exactly where you need the extra control on the mountain--and not all the way from the summit to the lodge. Another Head innovation is Liquidmetal technology. While just about every ski manufacturer now offers titanium in their high-end skis, Head's Liquidmetal has a molecular structure that returns power at a ratio of 1:1, resulting in an improved ski rebound,improved turn initiation with roughly 29% more power than energy-absorbing titanium. Ski magazines lauded Head's Liquidmetal component in past seasons for the consistent,predictable rebound, but one lesser-known benefit is that the Liquidmetal is actually liquid, so it doesn't break down like solid molecular ski components that wear out over several seasons of hard use. What that means is that you'll probably be skiing on these Great ONEs long after everyone else has decided that their conventional all-mountain skis are flat,well… not so great. That's an investment that makes plenty of sense no matter where you like to ski down the mountain. On Sale |
