Yes, they changed the Peak series for next year. They changed the tips and I have forgotten what they are calling it, but essentially they made the tips softer with maybe a little early rise. I have not skied them but I was told that  it does not totally detsroy the ski, but it definitely makes them less strong and harder to pressure the tips, and they flap some. Not great!!

The only thing that I have been told about the Race Oriented lineup is that they are de-emphasizing it in NA. Peter Keelty says thet they will not offer 2011 SS's in the US. Someone else has said that SS Speeds will not be offered here. For sure the whole line will have much lower distribution, and in general these skis will be much harder to find. The days of being able to steal SS's or other Head Race skis online will pretty much be over. Bad for us, maybe good for Head.

Of course all my info is subject. We won't know for sure until September.
