almost every one over the past 4 years.
Favorite aspect about Head Thang skis: They are so versatile and have a great
construction that they will grow with you, as you become a better and better skier.
Reason for Joining the Head Women’s Team: Head is one of the oldest and
most respectable companies that have been make top quality skis and boots. I
wanted to be a part of a great company that makes products that help me grow and allow me to ski at my best and also supports
women and our pursuits.
Where do you want to see the products go in the future: Wider and possible a ski with reverse camber and side cut. We
are working on a ski of this nature now and hope it will stand up to our tests. Wider
lighter skis that are still sturdy and tortionally stiff are the future of our sport.
Words you live by: Speed is your
friend in almost every sport!
If you are afraid of the unknown all the time
then you will never do anything fun.
