I am really into skiing, but I also am very into art, so when Rossignol decided to collaborate with seven artists to design their new graphics I was super excited. My favorite design this year is by Caia Koopman and it's on the S6. The S6 picks up were the Steeze left off, and it is the perfect tool if you like Powder, jumps, skiing fast, and getting creative on the mountain. This ski shines in nearly all aspects of skiing, carves on the groomer and through the chop. It floats great in the deep and stomps smooth whether you're landing forward or back.

This is the same as the STZ from last year, only Caia Koopman made them much prettier and less like a Tokyo acid trip. They are some of the most solid skis ever going fast, coming in for landing, pillow dropping, pow snorkling, etc, etc... Basically they are my favorite all around ski ever. The softness in the tip and tail makes them playful, and the stiffness under foot makes everything stompable and straightlineable. Have fun... C

these skis are the best do anything ski i have EVER tried. While there are skis that can do better at specific types of skiing, these ones do it all well. I cant really say it in a clearer way. As for the look of the ski... GORGEOUS. one of my favorite graphics of all time.

Not sure which sin this ski is supposed to represent, but if you've ever skied it will leave you LUSTing for more. This ski is the perfect west coast ski. At 110 it floats super well in the pow. Its shape makes it super nimble and allows you to make tight short turns or arc super nice long gs style turns. It is a really light ski as well, and feels super light on your feet. This makes it sweet in the air. Take it off some backcountry kickers, jib off some natural terrain, or show up the park rats in the terrain park. This ski does everything well, and anyone who's skied it can attest to this. Rossignol took a long time design a ski like this, and with its introduction as the Steeze last year, and the S6 this year, it was definitely worth the wait. Rossignol nailed it with this ski.

Just bought these skies, from backcountry.com. Good service fast delivery by the way, the ski's are a littlle disappointing. First of the length, I bought the 186 cm but that is from tip till tip, the length on the snow is considerable less, and coming from 205cm ski's the loss of high speed control is considerable! They are nice to cruise but don't expect to win a little race with your friends. If you are over 180 cm in lenght and weigh more then 80 kg, then these ski's are too small to make you float in the deep stuff, unless you go on a 80% slope or more. Compared to the K2 obsethed190 cm they are 10 cm smaller!Go for a bigger longer ski out there. Now the good stuff, on the grooms they are very nice, and also in the grud it is fun to play with them, and the looks are awsome and they are perfect for the park..But it's just not enough for me who likes high speed(where they will start to flutter) and the deep snow

I just went to mammoth last week and rode these for the first time. The snow conditions weren't that great, really hard, icy groomers early softening up in the afternoon. I had a pair of Seth Pistols from 2004 that I have been riding and those are softer than these. I also rode the Volkl Katana last year on hard icy conditions and those were stiffer than the S6's. The Rossi's are inbetween those 2. They can lay over pretty good considering how wide they are. I can't wait to get into some deep snow and really open them up. They are a very versatile ski and performed great on bad snow. I will write again once I get them in some soft stuff.

Wanted a daily driver to replace my 186 Line Prophet 100's. Tough task. Had to be as fat and carve well if things got firm. Well the 28th and 29th at Kirkwood things firmed up. Mounted mine at the middle mark with an Axial 140 Ti Pro with a bit of lift. Was worried about stability but no worries. On edge they haul ass and hold amazingly well way outside. You will get some skip on super steep groom if you are pushin it because of the width. Lots of fun on roller coaster terrain as you can throw these from side to side and rail turns. Weird talkin about groomers I know. These are glassy but damp. Will kick some because of no metal so you just adjust your technique when bumpy terrain comes. A Katana or Prophet have metal in them so they will tend to stay down and punch comparitively is my guess since I have skied em both in chop and pow. Verdict still out on crud and pow with these. Should be fun.

First off, I am 6'1", 200lb.
Best ski I have ridden in the all-mountain twin/ powder ski category! Rode them in Vail on a day with calf-deep powder. They are incredibly versatile. In the deep stuff, they have amazing float and maneuverability. They are very nimble despite their rather large size (i rode the 186 cm size) and I was able to swing them through trees with little effort.
What really amazed me though was the ability to rip awesome GS turns down the groomers. I also played around making short turns and they handled that well too. Did not expect such versatility.
All in all, if I could have just one ski for frontside and backcountry skiing, this is it.

i just bought the S6 ,mounted it with the Duke, and have ridden it a few times in Telluride on hard pack and in the backcountry. I am not quite used to more center mounted skis so at first i was thinking about remounting a little farther back (i was already mounted on the farthest back line of the three). In the BC i got some drag on my outside ski when i was opening it up in about a foot of fresh snow, it was easy to correct but definately had to pay attention to it, that is what made me think to mount more traditional (if possible). I didnt remount, mostly because i want to see how then ski in really deep fresh snow first to see if it is really an issue, and secondly I loved how they skiied everywhere else in bounds and out. They stomp cliffs so solid it is a confidence booster no doubt. I love the ski, really playful and can mix it up all over the mountain. Not a point it and mach it type ski, more like a jump around get creative fakie here and there poppy pillow loving powder ski......I love it, thoroughly satisfied as of yet, waiting to get into they really deep to get a feel for its float a little better, then i would probably give it 5 stars

I wanted and everyday ski and chose the S6. This ski is very versatile and can get you through everything like a hero. Do not get scared of the 110 under foot. The ski carves fine on hard-pack and is very fun in powder. Overall excels on the in-between stuff. I live and ski in VT and mounted these with the marker baron. Overall a great setup, and would recommend these to anyone and everyone.

I have last years Steeze's and love them. They are by far the best pair of boards I've have ridden. I patrol on them in all types of snow conditions, and they have never given me any trouble. The one thing I would suggest is to mount them a little forward of what you would normally mount skis. I found that they put you in a much better postion, and they can really open up.

Love these skis...So Versatile you can take them anywhere in any conditions.From deep pow to some gnarly hard stuff these skis rip. I went with the 186's I'm about 5'8 165 a bit more work than I am used to but a great ski. Hold well at high speeds but will still turn on a dime when you want them to. The 110 waist isn't as difficult to get on edge as I thought it was going to be very responsive...Extremely satisfied.

This is the same ski as last years Steeze. It is an incredible ski. I have to say, I liked last years graphic better though. This ski can handle anything, but it excels in powder. If you want a crud buster I would get something a little stiffer.

I'm about to buy new Rossi s6's but before I do I have this to say - I just broke my Rossi Scratch Steeze skis today beyond repair, you know, the ones with the candyland graphics... yea those ones. Those are the same exact skis as the s6, just a year earlier. Look, here's the deal - I love Rossignol and always have. I've shredded on rooster sticks since I was a grom. However, if you truly are a ripper and you like to shred hard more than 60 days a year, as I do, you WILL break these skis. Here's why - Rossignol has recently added the WRS (weight reducing system) to their line of scratch skis in the past years as they started getting fatter. (thats all this ski is, is a glorified rossignol scratch ... you know the ones from 2002 with the woman silouette ... yea those ones) Essentially, the WRS system functions to make the ski lighter by making the sidewall construction out of a light plastic material. Moderate impacts from rocks and such will easily break this plastic sidewall material right out of the ski, exposing the wood core to moisture, thus, ruining the ski. If the broken-out sidewall in this ski isn't noticed immediately, the edge of the ski is easily susceptable to irreparable tweaking and damage, as there is no support for it without the sidewall. If I had to say it bluntly, "For ripping skiers, these skis are delicate." Now I know what you're thinking... "dont hit rocks" sure... good advice ... but lets be real here, we're skiers ... we like to rip ... rocks happen. If you wanna ski groomers with these skis, you'll love them. Otherwise, be warned. But all negativity aside, I still love Rossignol, I think its amazing what they've done with their 7 sins for 7 artists graphics this year. But rippers beware: they're not that bomber and they'll probably break.
