Summary:
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.

Summary:
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.

Summary:
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.

Summary:
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.
