Rossignol has done a fantastic job with the '07-'08 Bandit line. I rode my B-83's for over 75 hard Utah powder days this winter and they're still just as springy and enjoyable as the first day.That being said, the Phantom line coming out for '08-'09 is a kickass ski. It's my favorite ski coming out from Rossignol next year, and you won't be disappointed.
