Head tuned up its women-specific Joy line this winter, lengthening the turn radii and narrowing the tips, but maintaining their lightweight feel and easy-turning capabilities. In this six-ski line, the Super Joy sits second from the top in performance. Testers found it easy to ski wherever it went. “Super fun in the bumps, steeps and soft snow,” said Kana Leopkey. “I loved the aesthetics, too.” The karuba and ash wood core and carbon and fibreglass sandwich keep the weight low, giving it a nimble feel, particularly in tricky terrain. (It feels noticeably light, especially for a system ski—ideal for parking lot trudges.) It’s easy to get on edge and carves beautiful, smooth turns. The soft flex makes the Super Joy forgiving, but compromises higher speed stability. Testers said they felt nervous when charging. Skiers who prefer moderate speeds will love this ski.
