I know what it\u2019s like to be unappreciated.\u00a0 My Gossip Girl\/Hunger Games crossover fan fiction has yet to be accepted as the work of speculative genius that it is.\u00a0 So, when I tell you that the new Flight series of big mountain skis from Head deserves more attention, you know I\u2019m coming from a place of deep understanding–much like when Katniss Everdeen and Gossip Girl\u2019s Serena van der Woodsen finally meet, one thousand pages into my fourth unpublished novel.<\/p>\n
Why are these big, sweet-riding skis underrated?\u00a0 Well, when people think of Head skis, they generally imagine heart-stopping Olympic downhills or World Cup podiums.\u00a0 Head has, historically speaking, crushed the racing circuit.\u00a0 It\u2019s only in the last several years that the mad scientists from Head\u2019s race room laboratory–which is buried somewhere beneath a tropical volcano (not fact-checked)–have turned their wild eyes to deep snow and big lines.<\/p>\n
Which is good, because that\u2019s what I like to ski. Going reckless speeds on ice is for weirdos.<\/p>\n
