Thanks for the comment. I generally have not considered Head’s Mojo series because I got a bad impression (for my needs and performance preferences) of Head’s when I demoed one of their monster series skis a while back. The Monster I demoed was slow to respond, rather unlively, not much pop, and not a quick ski. From what I read, my impressions seem like a fair generalization to most upper end Head skis. With my preferences towards finesse skis that are lively and quick turning, I automatically ruled out the Mojo series pretty quickly. I was decidedly not looking for a ski that rips up groomers nor a one ski quiver, so all the things that make the Mojo90 work well for you make it decidedly not an option for me. If you want to hear more about the Watea series, there are a ton of reviews on EpicSki.com under their Ski Gear Review section. Fischer (and Head) are definitely not marked as well as they could be.

Fischer seems to have generated a lot of buzz this year by revamping the Watea series… however, there was not much buzz (only under the radar buzz) for the Maori lineup of which the Atua was part of. Fischer made a good decision to revamp the line with only a few small changes, mostly cosmetic in addition to doing away with the turned up tail likely causing this market to get lost in the park and pipe segment.

Cheers,
