Description
The Monster 78s are the perfect all around tool for top skiers who ride the whole mountain. Different terrain everyday, different conditions everyday, no problem.
These sticks are loaded with Head's patented LiquidMetal Technology. All mumbo Jumbo aside, this stuff really works. Its stored up the energy when you apply force into the turn and gives it back when you let up at the end of the turn (assuming you are doing such things while you are skiing.) End result, excellent rebound energy creating a very lively ski.
Features:
Intelligence Chip System - Intelligence with Chip is a magnified dampening system. No chatter here.
Liquidmetal technology - a full layer of the latest technology for optimal performance
X-Frame - Head's proven core technology
Titanium Alloy - strength without the weight
Liquidmetal Jacket - for the ultimate in rebound power without a ski that feels like a 2X4
SandWich Construction, for the ultimate in stability and snow sticking capability.

What does this mean for you? It means you better be hauling A if you intend to buy this ski, it is a stiff stable ski designed for those who push it to the limit. In two words: Experts Only.
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.
The monster 75/77/78 is a wider ski designed for any snow conditions and any terrain. Groomers , crud, powder, you name it, it'll eat it. Of course you know how the story goes. Move up to the Monster 82/85/88s if you want more off trail action. Move down to the Monster 70/72 if you want more carving action. Or don't move anywhere and just click the add to cart button.
