Product Info
Strong intermediate skiers who stay mainly on the groomed but increasingly feel the need to start exploring the sidelines and trees would do well to consider the Head Strong Instinct Ti Skis + PRX 11 Bindings. This super solid all mountain pick takes advantage of the Yin and the Yang of ski materials - ultra light and tough Graphene™ and damp and smooth Titanal - to create a powerfully confident ski that doesn't weigh a ton. The Strong Instinct makes use of a versatile 83 mm waist and gradual 20% tip rocker to give you that edge in softer conditions, and rails on harder snow like a freight train. Heed your instincts and pick up this setup to generate the maximum fun that sliding on snow can produce.

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm.

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber Rocker/Camber skis pair a traditional cambered profile underfoot with an elongated, early rise tip borrowed from fully rockered skis. This profile places the front contact point further back from the tip, while the rear contact point remains close to the tail. The rockered tip allows for better flotation and less edge catch for increased float in deep snow, while the cambered rear stores and transmits energy similarly to a fully cambered ski.

Tail Type
Flat This is your traditional tail, designed to have edge contact all the way through the tail, and only designed for skiing forward. This is also preferred for alpine touring, as you can stick the tails of your skis in the snow.
