Yeehaaa - we could leave the review at that, it would say it all. Take 1 metre of powder snow, blue bird sky, 1 x hard charging freeride skier and a pair of Joy's - result: good day guaranteed.
At 110mm under foot, they are certainly big and according to our test team, they are also an absolute joy to ride, especially in powder, but surprisingly enough, on piste too.
One of the elements in the construction of the ski is Graphene - the world's strongest material. It's what helps makes the ski so powerful, yet light enough to throw around, meaning that you can twist and turn through the trees as well as opening up on big mountain faces.
Considering the wide design, they perform smoothly and effortlessly on groomed slopes too, with a solid edge grip and easy entry into the turn. They are never going to be an obvious all day piste cruising ski, but at least you know you'll have fun riding home at the end of the day.
For serious female skiers who want to explore the steepest and deepest parts of the mountain, the Head Joy's remain right up there in 2016-17 as one of the stand out freeride skis on the market.
