More About 2008-2009 Men's Skis

Monday November 10, 2008

For starters, last season I actually had the opportunity to ski the 08-09 Head Mojo 94s that I'm holding for my Christmas in July photo - and yes they are now my new skis! These are Twin Tip, 132-94-119, and are available in a range of sizes, from 166cm to 187cm.

Definitely in the mid-fat category, Head's sandwich construction for the 94's make for a durable, firm yet surprisingly light ski that handled well on the groomers I tried and can't miss in any but the deepest powder.

Guest Author Tony Crespi, a former Ski School Supervisor and Development Team Coach, who loves testing skis and writing about them, shares his take on some of what he liked in the 2008-09 Men's Skis. Tony presents some of the best skis to look for in Powder, All Mountain Expert Cruisers, and All Mountain Performance Cruisers. No matter where you ski, or what your most common snow conditions are, there's something here for everyone.

As I have always said and as Tony reiterates - Demo, Demo, Demo. Skis that are great for one person may not be so great for a person of a different size, or someone who might like a faster ski, or more of a carver type. Take in the information and personal opinion of expert testers, like Tony, and then be sure to demo two or three skis before putting your money down.
