Head Monster i.M 88 (2007)
Pro Unquestionably one of the stouter constructions in the category, this powerful Austrian mountain crusher rules with an iron fist. No, not iron—Liquid Metal, a proprietary alloy of great resilience and durability. The Monster’s defining characteristic is unshakable stability, but that’s not solely attributable to the Liquid Metal layers in its wood-core layup. Intelligence Technology also deserves credit. Special fibers are laid at angles to resist twisting; when the ski twists, the fibers create mechanical energy that is converted to electrical energy, which in turn stiffens the fibers, instantly increasing rigidity. But the Monster has a lighter side. "Fun and well balanced," said Wheatley. "Nice combination of quickness, float and stability." Con Damp and stable to a fault; not ideal for those who prize liveliness.
PRICE (MSRP): $900.00
