For any female skier looking to explore the whole mountain and start to get off the groomed slopes and into the powder, the Head Absolut Joy is a top contender.
The skis suggest a recreational skier who's looking to improve their on-piste technique would be best suited to these, but they have a lot more to offer a more advanced skier too - making them a perfect ski for a first time buy for anyone looking to seriously improve.
'Reliable and off-piste and have some serious poke for a recreational ski,' said one of our testers.
Containing a new Graphene material that's only one atom thick, yet 100 times stronger than steel - this keeps the skis super lightweight whilst retaining torsional stiffness throughout the turns.
The popular design rounds off what could turn out to be one of the top all-round skis of the 2014-15 winter ski season.
