HEAD Skis: Ski & snowboard gear
HEAD was founded in 1950 by Howard Head, an American engineer and entrepreneur who revolutionized the world of skiing by introducing aluminum and plastic as basic materials in skis.

How to choose the right HEAD skis?
To choose the perfect HEAD skis for your needs and skills, it’s important to consider several factors, including your skiing style, terrain preferences and physical characteristics. Here are some steps you can follow to make the right choice:
Assess your skiing level
First of all, you need to assess your skiing level. Are you a beginner, intermediate, advanced or expert skier? Choose a ski that suits your level to get the most out of your skiing experience.
Consider your skiing style and terrain preferences
What type of skiing do you prefer? Are you mostly on-piste or do you prefer off-piste and freeride? Choose a ski that suits your skiing style and the terrain you primarily ski.
Measure your height and weight
The length and stiffness of the ski should be appropriate for your height and weight. In general, skis should be shorter and more flexible for lighter and shorter skiers and longer and stiffer for heavier and taller skiers.
Determine your ideal ski profile
Skis come in different profiles, including camber, rocker and a combination of both. Camber profiles provide better edge grip and stability on hard surfaces, while rocker profiles are better for floating in deep snow and easier turns. Choose the profile that best suits your preferences and terrain.
If you’re unsure which skis are best for you, it’s a good idea to consult an expert in a ski equipment store. They can give you professional guidance and help you make the right choice.
