Head Big Easy All Mountain

Head Big Easy All Mountain 

DESCRIPTION

A generation ago, it took a lifetime to learn to ski. With The Big Easy, the learning curve is cut to two hours. With proper instruction and a little encouragement, never-evers can become parallel skiers in less time than it takes to read this catalog. Just tip it, and rip it!
Lenghts: 130/140/150/160/170/180

Strength:

This is a great ski for anyone up to an advanced intermediate and for lazy technical skiers who don't want to get agressive. But since I have returned to being an instructor and do ski more agressivly with fellow instructors. -- Fremont Concrete Pros

I was kinda forced into these latest shape of the shape skis because the K2 modx pro I was on wasn't shaped enough. The Head Big easy even though they are rentals they really rock In shorter lengths for sure I am on some 160's but plan on moving down to 150's shortly to get a bit more snap in my turns on this lil hill in Wisconsin.

I rented these skis for the weekend and absolutely fell in love with them. After living in the soth and not skiing for moer than a decade, the big easy helped me jump right back in. I rented the 120cm size and those were perfect for carving and some small jumps. I liked them so much I order some as soona as I got home. $179 new, including bindings.

Customer Service

I have skied for 35 years and prefer to ski on the Head Big Easy even though I own much higher end equipment. I have the 160 and 170 cm skis, and find the 160 a blast in bumps and at carving groomers, and the 170 has plenty of float for deep powder.

The forgiving nature of these skis is key. They smooth out the rough spots, absorb the impacts and inspire confidence. The Big Easy has become my everyday ski, given it's limitations: stay under 30mph, don't try to take them down a severe pitch in icy conditions.

Also, the Big Easy 170 is a superb downhill telemark ski.

This is a great ski for anyone up to an advanced intermediate and for lazy technical skiers who don't want to get agressive. But since I have returned to being an instructor and do ski more agressivly with fellow instructors, I am looking for a stiffer ski and will probably go from my 160 lenght to 170.

Strength:

Easy to turn/ carve, great for cruising even in light powder. Ski forces you to turn properly/you can really feel it when you are not doing things right.

Weakness:

Stance must be shifted slightly rearward to keep ski stable (akward at fisrt)

I think these are great fun!!!! Not for extreme speed but great for beginners and even tired/lazy dogs like me.

Part of what is fascinating about the Head Big Easy skis is that their shape is the same as the top World Cup slalom skis. They offer some of the tightest turn radiuses on the market. This makes the Big Easy not only perfect for the beginner that needs a ski that virtually turns by itself, but is also great for the advanced skier that wants to carve tight slalom type turns. As a long time ski instructor in Snowmass, CO, I have yet to find a better all around ski. My personal ski of choice is 150 cm and I am 6' 2" and 200 lbs.

I rented these at the SnowMass ski resort. It was my 5th time skiing in 6 years. They were great! Instead of the ususal face plant, get up, hit the tree, I could actually turn! I even went down the blue slopes with my kids! (They ski too much for their own good). So out of 5 different pairs of skis, these are the best I've tried so far.

I tried these out at Loon in New Hampshire just to see what the new skier would be learning on as compared what I had to work with back in the day. The exagerated sidecut makes turing a snap while the wide base will give any begginer/intermediate a stable platform to work with. I would reccomend these to anyone who is fairly new to the sport and would like to see what learning to carve is all about. However If you plan to hit the diamonds, these are probably best being left at the lodge. For what these skis are designed for they accomplish so I will give them a "4" rating.

I was reluctant to try these new skies at the Sugarbush resort in Vermont. I forgot to ask for high-performance skis, and I paid the price for that mistake. Although the Head "Big Easy" skis might be ideal for the beginner, they are an insult to the skier of an advance skill level. I found the skis to be over-responsive, dramatically mis-shaped (too wide!!!), and worst of all they virtually threw in the towel at high speeds. If you ski agressively, the skis shake and seem insubstantial. Also, the fact that the majority of the ski is made out of rubber is cause for concern. I DO NOT suggest these skis for anyone who considers themself an intermediate-advanced skier.
