Product Info
The Head Monster XP Skis are all-terrain slope explorers for the skier that loves finding powder stashes as much as they like ripping the groomers or finding a creative line through the trees. Allride Rocker technology combined with an ERA 3.0 geometry means effortless steering on steeps, deeps, and fresh corduroy. Carbon stringers provide rigidity and stability for quick edge-to-edge mobility and a steady ride. Mount up a pair of Head Monster XP Skis and get ready for world-class all-mountain performance.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Allride Rocker – 20% rocker and 80% camber make for a profile that is comfortable on the steps and deeps with superior steering and increased flotation.
Shape
ERA 3.0 – This evolutionary rocker technology combines rocker, radius, and rebound designs for effortless steering and soft snow versatility.
Core
Sandwich Cap Construction – Head takes the basic framework from its World Cup sandwich and adds 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 all-mountain ski.
Laminates
Carbon Stringers – Ultralight carbon stringers reinforce the core without compromising on weight for sophisticated performance.
Sidewalls
Hybrid Sidewall / Cap Construction – This construction has sidewalls over the edges with a cap over the top layer of the ski for increased resistance to edge impacts.
Base
Structured UHM C Base – The same high quality material used in Head's world-leading race skis is used here. Different structured running base for all conditions.
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

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:

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.
