Intermediate to advanced independence, inspiring, fun and easy to use all-mtn skis for red run skiers and above, a nice 16m radius allows you to improve your carving on groomed runs plus keep your speed under control with smaller to medium sized turns on tricky off-piste forays. Great for the one week a year skier who takes some guiding and wants to explore without getting too extreme or caught out. Salomon's Scream Hot would be a little sportier, whilst the Scream 8 is aimed more at an adventurous intermediate. Head's very popular Monster iM 75 is also excellent if you want a lot of stability, but at the cost of finesse.
