Head Every Thang

[Sky]

Anyone tried this?

I'd be keen to hear too! I'm looking to buy a new pair and the guys at my local shop have suggested I put this on my list of skis to consider.
I'm told its a high end all mountain carver and I'm waiting till they get them in store in a couple of weeks to find out a bit more.

Head doesn't seem to be a ski I see a lot in my local shops. I know there is a shop in Traverse City that carries Head, so I may take the time to check on this ski.
If I find anything out, I'll post here.
Looking forward to hearing what you find.

There was a review about these on EpicSki by Bob Peters. Bob has been a trainer/tester with the National Ski Patrol System, a backcountry ski guide at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, a ski author published in Powder Magazine, and is now a part-time instructor at Jackson Hole.

Here's what he had to say:

My wife is 5'7", 130# and a strong skier. She loves powder, junk, and crud, makes moderately carved turns on groomers, but isn't really into high speed skiing. Her two favorite skis right now are the Head XRC 1400 and the K2 Axis AK.

1. Every Thang. 156cm. 11m radius, 122-72-106. Muted cosmetics with some black, gray, and green in it. New ski for 08, cap construction.

Neither my wife nor her friend were very excited about this ski. It's the women's version of the Xenon 9.0 that I reviewed above. I'm not sure my wife is ready yet for the mental leap to come "down" to a ski this short and with this short a turn radius. Both she and her friend felt it was a little "bouncy" at speed. They just weren't thrilled with this ski.

And here's what he had to say about the Xenon 9.0:

1. Head Xenon 9.0. 170cm, 11m turn radius, 120-75-114. Green and white cosmetics. Cap construction, I'm fairly sure.

This was a really fun ski. I think it's aimed at the do-it-all market and it works pretty well at that. It's very quick, as the 11m radius would suggest, but I felt I could make a pretty long turn on it without too much trouble. It carves well and felt very good in the small-to-medium bumps I skied. The Head guys told me that it skis powder very well because of fairly soft tip, but of course I didn't have any powder to try.

They checked out other Head skis, too. Go here for more.
