This is a great ski for any terrain. I was on a much older pair of Rossi's, and when I made the switch the first thing I noticed was how much lighter they felt. Good shape and width for handling any groomed run and powder trail. Love this ski.

I've tried various skis for the past 5 years, demoing them and comparing them before I buy them because I wanted to find the skis that would do it all, plow through crud, slice through ice , float on powder, carve like a super-G racer, short turns, long turns, moguls are no sweat. Like an SUV on crack!! There's really no better way to describe it, except I bought them about 5 months ago!! I've tried Salomon X-scream series, Cross Max10, pilot 10, Atomic C-9.18, Atomic R 11.20,K2 Axis x, and many more. I have been a fan of Salomon for over 7 years but I got to give it to Rossi's Bandit XX this time. You can really push the skis to the most challenging terrains and you'll find yourself in love with it. Man...Rossi should pay me for this!! Good luck JamesBond007

I demoed these at Wolf Creek in Colorado and they performed great. An excellent all around ski that is easy to turn and goes where you want it to. They really have a satisfying rebound when carving a turn and look absolutely great. They're probably more suited to someone who spends the majority of time on groomers, off-piste they loose their charm when the powder gets deep, though they are still no slouch.

Out of all the skis I've demoed so far this season the B2 has been my favorite. The B2s were quick, responsive, energetic, playful, and easy to control. They held a tight line with no problem even in steep trees. There wasn't much powder on the day I tried them so I didn't get to get to see how they float, but they were very forgiving and gobbled up the crud like a fat kid with a popsicle. I was the most impressed with the B2s in the bumps. Quick and lively, they powered their way past all the other freeride skis I've tried in the moguls. Twin tips turned out to be more of an advantage than I had imagined and they also allow you some playtime whether you're in the park or not. On courdoroy at mach 3 they were a little unstable but who really enjoys riding courdoroy anyways? I still have a few more skis to demo but I'd be very surprised if I end up picking something other than the B2s.

My wife & I each bought a pair of Rossignol Bandit B2 Alpine Skis. They
are a great ski!! They really make turning much easier.

These skis have been real confidence builders. I moved up from a variety of rentals to these and am pleased with how much more responsive they are. When I get ready for the backcountry I am sure they will be there.

I spent nine days in Jackson, we had 4 feet of snow. I only skied steeps and the Hobacks and used B2(182) only. They’re outstanding, it’s hard to go wrong when you can make turns anywhere! I did not hesitate on stuff where courage was usually required. Major confidence builder! I bought a pair after six days of rentals. I was always a Rossi fan and loved the old 7XK's, but I had skied Salomon X-Mountain, Screams, and Chilli series skis for last five years, I would still like to try B3.

This does way good with bumps. Don't depend on busting the crud, this will be good with a little off trail but it is soft. If your an all around skiier, you will dig this ski without getting super wide.

Amazing ski. Get it on edge and feel it turn. It blasts through the chop and eats up ice.

These skis are great for anything on the mountain. As an everyday ski they can handle just about anything you throw at them. Stiff enough for charging crud, wide enough to float through powder, and a nice sidecut for arching big gs turns. If you like to ski it all and not have to own 5 pairs of skis, these are for you.

Here in the Northwest we ski on lots of crud and very heavy loose snow (Cascade Concrete) and the Bandit B2 is superb in these conditions. They are not superb, only very good, on the packed or groomed trails. They go back to superb in the moguls. I would highly recommend them to anyone, particularly those who ski on snow like ours.
