Product Info
The Head MYA No. 9 Skis use a combination of Head's most versatile technologies in order to deliver a product that is just as happy carving groomers as it is floating through pow. ERA 3.0 combines tip rocker, progressive turn radius and piezoelectric fibers in the tip of the ski for soft snow float and easy edge release, along with reduced chatter at speed and strong edging on hard snow. The hybrid sandwich/cap construction brings the power of sandwich construction and combines it with the rugged durability of cap, while Head's famous structured bases are some of the finest in the world. Take your riding to a whole new level with the Head MYA No. 9 Skis.
Product Details
Rocker Type
ERA 3.0 (Evolutionary Rocker Architecture) – ERA is rocker done right. For superior steering and increased flotation, ERD 3.0 features 20% tip rocker and 80% camber, paired with a progressive radius that provides increased edge contact for more grip. Finished off with an Intellirise Rebound which uses piezoelectric Intellifibers in the skis' tips to eliminate vibrations, ERA 3.0 is at the pinnacle of ski design.
AllRide Rocker – Rocker that is equally at home on bulletproof snow as it is in powder. This profile uses early rise in the tip with regular camber throughout the rest of the ski. 20% rocker / 80% camber.
Sidecut
Progressive Radius – For tremendous turning: Regular rocker makes skiers place their ski further on edge to have it touch from tip-to-tail. With progressive radius, up to 50% less angulation is needed to enjoy full edge contact.
Core
Sandwich Cap Construction – Head takes the basic framework from world cup sandwich and places a cap that just wraps over the top edge of the sidewall to make the ski more suitable for all mountain skiing. Bomber construction with a rounded top edge makes for one incredible allcountry ski.
Laminates
Intellirise Rebound – Head has moved their legendary piezoelectric Intellifibers to the top of the ski. The nasty tip vibrations found on regular rockers are not found here. These skis are too smart for that.
Base
Structured UHM C Base – The same high quality material used in Head's world-leading race skis is used here, with a different all-conditions structure.
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain:
All-Mountain, Powder

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. Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

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.

Turning Radius
Short < 16 m radius is best for carving.

Tail Type:
Partial Twin Tip

Tail Type
Partial Twin Tip Partial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.
