In one of the early books, Harald referenced the Head iC160 as a great ski for "skill development" so at least that far back he appreciated some Head skis. 

It was also about this time that Peter named the iC-160 his overall ski of the year, not because it was the best ski, but citing it for its versatility as well as the fact that "it almost draws better turns out of you."  And I seem to remember that Peter credited Harald with the quote.  I doubt that either Peter or Harald skied the iC-160 personally, but it was a great ski for me.

And I'm pretty sure that others on the forum have also owned the iC160, back in the dim distant past.  In fact, pretty sure Lynn owned a pair long before we met and I think Jbotti mentioned owning a pair.


PS. At the time, I wasn't even able to appreciate how good the ski was, but I bought my SuperShape Magnums because Peter said similar things about them contributing to skill development.
