The new Head Galactic offers true uphill & downhill performance thanks to weight savings whilst still retaining brilliant performance for the trip home. A waxable nano-tech top sheet prevent snow sticking to the surface, keeping the ski weight down when hiking up through powder to save valuable energy. Ambition bindings by Tyroli feature an optimised touring toe piece, which can be easily adjusted for standard alpine ski boots & AT (Alpine Touring) boots with gripped soles alike, whilst still being safe & secure. The pivot for the walking mode is positioned right below the ski boot tip to ensure perfect power transmission & a tilt angle of up to 90 degrees for the steepest climbs & awkward traverses. FEATURES & BENEFITS ERA 3.0 takes 3 key technologies to combine them into one awesome skiing package: 1. ALLRIDE ROCKER A targeted amount of rocker is placed in each era 3.0 ski to compliment the radius of the ski, to ensure maximum performance for all ability levels. Steering is easier for all skiers & soft snow versatility is enhanced. 2. PROGRESSIVE RADIUS Regular rocker makes skiers place their ski further on edge to get the full edge length from tip-to-tail. With Head’s progressive radius, up to 50% less angulation is required to enjoy full edge contact. More edge on the snow means more edge grip. 3. INTELLIRISE REBOUND Head have moved their legendary piezoelectric Intellifibers to the tip of the skis. The nasty tip vibrations found on regular rockers are not found here. These skis are too smart for that. A Sandwich Cap construction incorporates a traditional wood core & sidewall construction with an outer cap layer, for a blend of responsiveness & durability.

For the back country skier wanting to explore with a lightweight ski touring package which is equally adept coming back down the mountain. Just add skins! This feels like a really well balanced ski, & a great package for someone wanting a high performance back country ski that still carves up the pistes, for those days when staying inbounds. Really manoeuvrable too, thanks to the ERA 3.0 Technology & a fairly short turn radius which comes in handy for trickier traverses (and reverses!)
