Got out on a pair of Head Rev 90's that I picked up for $100 in an auction at a Make A Wish charity golf tournament in September (having the owners of the ski shop where I buy a majority of my family's gear also run a golf tourney for VT Make A Wish certainly has some added side benefits that I hadn't thought of! ) The model that I bought was Head's 2013 model in a 177 and they were still in the plastic wrap. Since Head hasn't done anything to this ski but change the top skin graphics the last few years, I really can't complain about the cost!
I skied them on both machine made packed powder and wind scrape all the way to soft, spring snow last weekend.
LOVED them! Nice and damp and stable at speed, and the more that I went at them, the more they kept delivering. I'll be curious to see how they hold on some bulletproof stuff, but given that they're a pair of Head's, my guess is that they'll do quite alright. The 90mm waist, 136mm tip and 16.6m radius just went through some softer, wet snow piles like nothing. While if I get a real powder day, I'll still likely grab my Bilzzard Cochises, I'm guessing that these Rev 90's will work quite well, even if the tip rocker is just slight verses the dramatic tip rocker of my Cochises.
All in all, this is a solid one ski quiver mid fat offering, especially for the East Coast!
