Great powder ski - like an M1 tank
By Kendall Card
January 6, 2005
The Head Monster 85 can become your everyday ski if you're in the West where there's an ample supply of powder and lots of cut up powder days. It's wide enough for even the deepest day at Snowbird but it's stable construction will take care of you on the traverses and groomers as you bomb back to the lift. Cut up powder? No problem - it plows through it like an M1 tank. It's a stiff ski and a bit heavier than other skis in this category - so I only gave it 4 stars. For a lighter weight skier this ski could prove to be too much for them. However if you're a strong skier looking for a solid powder ski that will take care of you all over the mountain, the Monster 85 will not disappoint.
