From Powder7.com: Fancy yourself some pow? That is what we thought. The 2011 Head Wild One is ready to take on the powder in the back bowls and crush the groomed trails. Softer than the Great One, the Wild One is a bit more forgiving when popping out of the trees and back onto the trail. This ski also features Intelligence technology. Metallic fibers run throughout the ski which engage at high speeds to dampen the ski- i.e. no more chatter. The Wild One has a wood core and vertical sidewalls for torsional stability. With these skis, you will be in your element.

Though Heads are known for being stiff, the Wild One had enough flex to keep it fun. I highly recommend this ski to the intermediate skier looking to make the leap to advanced.
Many don't realize that Head is one of the few major US born ski manufacturers. Started by aeronautical engineer Howard Head in 1950, the brand quickly became popular domestically and many skiers from the 1960's and 70's remember their beloved Head skis. What stands out most about Head skis is the technology in each ski. Aircoat cores, LiquidMetal energy recovery, and Intelligence electronic ski management are all technologies that Head has pioneered in alpine skis. As a sidenote, you guessed it, Head skis is the same company that produces tennis rackets as well as Penn tennis balls.
