Based on Head’s World Cup race skis, the Mya No 7 has the guts of a champion – a proper high end short turning ski, excelling on groomed piste and hard snow. The more you put in, the more it gives you back.

Great for :

one of the best short turning piste skis out there for strong lady skiers

Not so great for :

If you prefer an easier life, you’ll be better with the Mya No 5.

Target ability level :

A ladies skis go, the Mya No 5 is a long way from pink and pretty – it’s a hard core piste ski with a slalom pedigree, as gutsy as they come.

At 66 mils underfoot, it’s amazingly fast edge to edge and combined with a 118 tip and a 97 mil tail the profile goes to give a sidecut radius of only 13.2 metres in the 163 ski, certainly on the shorter side of medium.

KERS technology stores up the energy generated at the beginning of the turn and releases it in the last part to kick you out of one turn and into the next.

ERA 3.0 S uses 10% rocker in the tip only to ease manoeverability and reduce catching while the strong traditional camber and tail section and long effective edge provide rebound and grip.

Intellfibres are distributed throughout the ski and play on the torsion – reasonably soft and forgiving when skied at slow speeds, but stiffer and much more solid and stable as you crank the speed up.
