My ski's made it just in time to get to use them before it warmed up this year. They were awesome!! The ordering was easy, they came quickly and I didn't have any suprizes other than I got to read some local newspapers which is awesome that they reuse stuff for packaging instead of charging more for their products. Now if I can only make it through the summer so I can use them again

I am a middle aged intermediate / occasional skier, who skis mostly on the East Coast. I have been skiing my trusty old school 200 Rossi 4s straight skis for years, but they were becoming too much work, and my knees would kill me after the first day on the slopes - then I'd begin to catch an edge now and then and wipe out.

So I bought these 170 Head Xenon Xi 3.0s from Level Nine. I've skied on them five times now, and love them. They are easy to turn, and stable for most intermediate speeds. I can ski for days without the knee pain.

I did ski in icy conditions once, and they were harder to set my edges than the old straight skis. They also are a little less stable at higher downhill speed runs.

That said, they are an excellent value for a low to mid intermediate skier.

As for the Level Nine purchase experience - the site is easy to use if you come in with an idea of what you're looking for. The ski selector helped narrow down the field. Then the descriptions, reviews and specs really helped me find a few choices that fit my requirements. One last call to help me decide between two options, and voila: skis with bindings mounted at an excellent value on my doorstep within a week.

The skis took everything I threw at them. A bit slower in powder than I would expect but very happy with product and shipping.

Bought these for my son. He was impressed that Mom was able to pick out such a great ski package. Customer service was awesome and so helpful.

Totally loved the skis that I ordred from levelnine

Great value, great skis

These are the first set of skis I have ever owned. As a beginner/Intermeadiate I love them. I am now skiing diamond and DD course with these and do just fine. I go slow so I am fine. What a vaule after renting last year. Bought a season pass and these were paid for by the end of the ski season. Looking forward to skiing for free on them next year.

I bought 170s for me (bindings RF-12) and the 150s (RF-10) for my son. We used them this season in Ohio under a variety of groomed conditions. They worked great.

These skis is great for beginner like me. Great for the cost. Only downside is that it's a bit heavy.

These skis are great in all conditions. I'm in the East and we get variable weather to say the least. I found these great in all conditions.

The skis are great, I love the design and they fit my liking. The Xenon 3 is a great all mountain intermediate ski

It was a very good ski for bigger-intermediate like me.

My first pair of skis and I'm very happy I bought them! Great price, I no longer have to rent. These skis handle well in all types of terrain in the western part NY. I thought I would be doing just blue squares, but I find myself going down every type of run there is! I actually like the orange color and think they go ok with the Tyrolia RF10 red binding that Level 9 offered. Great company to buy from, staff was very helpful when ordering and delivery was fast!

Only had one outing on any easy mountain, but they really worked well. I could really cut my turrns

I'm a 60+ advanced intermediate skier who skis blues and blacks. These skis have revitalized my skiing. They are fast, easy to control, and they handle eastern crud just fine. I feel comfortable on every slope in a variety of weather. I'm very pleased.

The go to ski for most Level Nine customers because of the price, but mainly because it can do anything well, with groomed runs as the focus. Ask how rad this is here.

I am a decent intermediate 178cm and 75Kg, I shipped a 156cm pair of these to Australia and Have just come back from a week in NZ. I'd thoroughly recommend these to anybody, even after the shipping it was still a similar price to hiring for a week.

I'm a returning intermediate skier so I needed new skis. Bought these and fell in love again with skiing. They are very easy to control. They turn on a dime and carve up the slopes. I went from ice in the morning, to crud then to slush in the afternoon handeling it all with ease. L9 says they aren't for very fast skiers but I went faster on these skis than I had ever before and in control also. They are so fun I hated to take them off at the end of the day. Buy these skis and go and have a good time.
I-10 boots and railflex 12 bindings, Royal Shaft Dragon Poles

It's been a long time since I've owned a pair skis. I'm lucky I found Levelnine. I bought these skis with railflex 12's and Head I10 boots. These skis are a blast! They are light, strong, with just the right flex and carve like a dream. For the first time I'm in control and have never had so much fun on a pair of skis. I was a out an of practice intermediate skier but after the first day have been doing things I have never done before. These skis do what you want them to do with comfidence. I also got many compliments on the look of the skis. Don't hesatate, buy these skis, you'll thank yourself later.

After much research I decided to follow your recommendation earlier this year and purchased a pair of Head Xenon 9.0 skis in 170 cm to replace my Volkl 24/7 Pros. My technique and confidence immediately soared. I have never skied better. So much better in fact, that I ordered another pair from you a few weeks later and these 2 pairs now form my entire ski quiver. Great advice ? can?t thank-you enough.

I just bought these skis in a 170 with the RF10 bindings and spent a week in Lake Tahoe breaking them in. These skis are incredibly responsive and you can definitely feel the snow under foot. They're great on the groomers and handle fairly well in the powder (especially when you move the Railflex binding back 15cm). I'll be curious to try them on the east coast but expect nothing less than a great ride the next time I break these skis out again.

This was the first pair of skis I have owned and have always rented, just getting back into the sport after a long absence. For the money figured I could no lose. Got these matched with the Head RFD14 Black/Orange, for one looks great. Normally ski 160's at rental shop so was a little worried on length of 170 when I purchased. No issues they skied like the 160 and these skis worked great which helped build my confidence back up. May not be for advanced skiers but those in the intermediate levels and below this ski is for you. LevelNineSports.com has the best prices I have seen anywhere.

I purchased this ski in the 149cm and I love them. It is definitely more orange in color but looks good. These skis are fun, light and turn easy...just as described. You can't go wrong with these skis. Very pleased with the purchase.

they said this ski is red, I have this ski & it's deffinatly orange- very happy with ski

I am an intermediate skier, who sticks mainly to steep groomed runs and I really enjoyed these skis during a recent visit to Utah. We didn't have much new snow, but they handled the groomed runs and occasional iciness with no problem. After getting a few inches of snow, I tried these on a few mogul runs and in some powder and they felt great. I hadn't been skiing in over two years and found that these were the perfect skis to make me feel comfortable and get me started again.

The Xenon 3 is a great all mountain intermediate ski. It is very lightweight and has a phenomenal sidecut that make it easy and smooth to link parallel turns down the mountain.
