Like it's brother who ate a little bit more, the Monster 82 is truly a beefcake. It's obvious that its big size makes it dynamite for powder or any variable snow conditions, what may not be so obvious is that this ski can still cut up the rug with a reasonable turn radius. What may be hidden if you do not read between the lines is the Sandwich construction, this is a serious ski designed to handle serious force. If you don't put force on your ski, and I mean serious force (via speed, steeps, big air, whatever) you will not be able to flex this ski. Head says your variable snow skiing percentage here should be about 70%, if you spend a bit more time on trail head over to our not quite as beefy Monster 77's, if you spend more time off trail the Monster 88s is your ski.
Head Monster series skis are designed for true all mountain enjoyment. Monster series skis run the ability gamut from upper intermediate to expert and vary in on/trail off trail mix of 75/25 to 20/80 . The wider monster skis are designed more for aggressive off piste skiing, being both fatter and stiffer than their narrower Monster cousins. It is easy to determine which ski style monster you are looking at as they are named by their waist width. Thus the narrowest are the Monster 70s and widest the 88's.
Though all Monster skis excel in all conditions, the higher the number in the series, the better it will be in variable snow.
Our Ski Selector can take the guesswork out of choosing the correct ski.
If you are going to be using your monsters exclusively off trail, we recommend hooking up with a free flex binding below (this option not available on railflex skis.) If you will be skiing all mountain or mainly on groomed runs (and monsters do great on groomed runs) we recommend choosing a railflex binding.
Skiers not looking for quite so much off trail skiing should check out some of our XRC series skis, those of you who want some versatile skis that maybe are not so stiff should view our Mojo lines.
