Head Absolute Joy Womens Skis + JOY 9 GW SLR Bindings 2027
Easy steering, balanced handling and reassuring grip for progressing around the mountain.
The Head Absolute Joy Womens Skis + JOY 9 GW SLR Bindings suit intermediate skiers who want a forgiving, versatile setup for enjoying more of the mountain. Comfortable at moderate speeds, they make it easy to vary your turn shape, from shorter turns on busier pistes to flowing arcs on open slopes.
An 80mm waist balances responsive handling on groomed snow with useful versatility when conditions soften. Allride Rocker helps the tips enter turns smoothly, while camber beneath the feet supports edge grip and a controlled finish. The wood composite core and lightweight construction provide a manageable feel without losing the support needed as your confidence grows.
Head’s Better Balance base supports a centred stance, helping you steer with less effort. The included JOY 9 GW SLR bindings complete the package with a lightweight design and compatibility with adult Alpine and GripWalk ski boots.
