Tester's opinion:
This ski from Head is considered as extremely beautiful to look at and was therefore rewarded with the bronze medal in the Snow Style. While riding, our testers were not quite so unanimous in their rating. While the Peak 84 was perfect for Michaela Reichel, others were rather skeptical and criticized especially the grip of the ski.

Tester's opinion:
An absolute eye-catcher is the Head GP is 84 on and off the slopes, and therefore it gets the gold medal in the Snow Style awarded. The skiing capability of the 84 GP was brave. He was not able to convince all of our testers, but that should not really matter.

Head GTO 200 - Open Space
Information:

- radius: 18 m
- sidecut: 118-83-100
- available lengths: 180, 190, 200
- RRP: € 699,95 incl. binding
Manufacturer's comment:
Only for real men! The new GTO was built for everyone that still appreciates the full length. We are proud to celebrate the revival of the two-meter ski - which is amazingly versatile through its contemporary radius and light bendable tail. This ski runs stable, directly and above all incredibly fast.
Tester's comments:
This ski really requires real men and very good skier skills! The length is compared to other skis extraordinary, the design is absolutely made for men. Some of our testers were overwhelmed with this ski (real men?), others were really excited. Anyone who is flirting with the GTO for the coming winter should first undergo a thorough examination and then decide whether he is a real man. More Open Space
