Wow, I just spent three days in fresh powder and on groomed trails on a pair of HEAD Intelliscence i70 Monster 170 cm ski’s. They were awesome and so much easier to use than my 6 year-old 2nd generation carvers [Rossignol 201cm Viper X]. I am 183cm tall and the Monsters had me crusing 6 hours a day in bright, flat, snow, ice and 40 knot winds. There was scarcely any vibration and they had good speed and had me skiing in a much better forward lean than I have acheived in years! Great Ski’s and they are on my shopping list!
