Best ski 2014
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
The MYA 5 is the ideal ski for this category. Accessible to all, it will help its owner advance to the next level, especially when carving out turns.
Review: Pros
- The MYA 5 from Head stands out for its user-friendliness even for the weakest of skiers, and for its capacity to help learners to make progress. Extremely easy to use, it skids with ease and pivots effortlessly, yet is still remarkably efficient if you step on the gas and start to push it a bit. Curved turns are easy, faultless and fun.
Review: Cons
- Nothing to report

Manufacturer's remarks
Every detail of the MYA 5 has been carefully thought through, from the graphic base to the 3D topsheet, so as to give the ski more volume. This typical piste ski is perfect for skiers who want to make progress while enoying the descent. It's easy to ride, while the mix of ERA 3.0 and the anchored tail provide better grip when exiting turns.
