{"product_id":"2027-head-absolut-joy-skis-w-joy-9-gw-bindings-315686","title":"2027 Head Absolut Joy Skis W\/ Joy 9 GW Bindings","description":"\u003cp\u003eEasygoing groomer skiing for intermediate women is the brief of the Head Absolut Joy. With a Power Sidewall Jacket Construction, Wood Composite Core, and Allride Rocker profile, it's a forgiving frontside ski that makes carving feel natural without demanding the technique of a high-end performance ski.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnergy Management Circuit Flex (EMC F) is a smart simplification of the more aggressive EMC found in the Super Joy. It keeps the chatter-damping benefits but tunes them to a softer, more intermediate-friendly flex, which means the ski stays composed without feeling stiff or demanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntermediate women skiers who want a confidence-inspiring carver that helps them progress. Great for skiers building from beginner-level carving toward more advanced technique, or for experienced casual skiers who just want a fun, easy-to-ski groomer board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Wood Composite Core is what makes this ski accessible: a balanced layup that's lighter and more forgiving than a full wood core while still delivering a real, engaged feel underfoot. The Power Sidewall Jacket Construction adds edge grip and stability that helps the ski hold a clean carve. Graphene reinforcement adds strength while trimming weight, and EMC F piezo damping is a softer-flex version of Head's race-derived chatter filtering. The Allride Rocker profile blends easy turn initiation with strong camber underfoot for engagement through the middle of the turn, and the Women's Camber geometry is biomechanically tuned for women skiers. The integrated JOY BB SLR PRO base plate and Joy 9 GW SLR binding round out the package.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThings to consider:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt for groomed runs and progressive skiing, so it's not the strongest pick for advanced skiers who want race-level carving performance. The Super Joy is the step up for skiers ready for a stiffer, more responsive ski, while the Easy Joy is a more forgiving step down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFit \u0026amp; sizing considerations:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard sizing applies. Pick the length that matches your usual ride; drop a length for easier maneuverability, bump up a length once your technique progresses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Head","offers":[{"title":"148","offer_id":51821995852072,"sku":"315686|148","price":699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"153","offer_id":51821995884840,"sku":"315686|153","price":699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"158","offer_id":51821995917608,"sku":"315686|158","price":699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"163","offer_id":51821995950376,"sku":"315686|163","price":699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/5135\/6456\/files\/2027-head-absolut-joy-skis-w-joy-9-gw-bindings-315686-1-315686.jpg?v=1778769548","url":"https:\/\/checkout.skiessentials.com\/products\/2027-head-absolut-joy-skis-w-joy-9-gw-bindings-315686","provider":"SkiEssentials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
