Whoa! What a ride! The Head Big Joy continues to deliver on the Joy range mantra of 'light done right' for female skiers.

The lively wood core and innovative use of graphene (an incredibly light and strong material that's used in tennis rackets and, at 1 atom thick is 100 times stronger than steel) makes life in the back bowls easier for lighter riders who are aggressive but not as heavy as a fella.

The Big Joys came alive off-piste and felt indestructible - crushing through crud and floating in the powder. They have a super light sandwich cap construction that combines the weight-saving benefits of a cap with the power and torsional rigidity of sidewalls which meant the skis also held up on-piste too.

The Big Joy's happy place is booming through powder days, driving long lines through deep bowls and powering through the trees. Ideal for advanced and expert ladies that want to spend most of their time off-piste.
