The Rossignol S1 Howell is the ski of choice for move with impunity from the park to the pipe to groomed to the bumps to the trees and back. The S1 Howell is all about versatility – it’ll let you jib all over the hill while still holding it down on manicured trannies and rails. The S1’s wood core gives the ski a responsive and snappy feel while the progressive flex offers stability underfoot with more pop in the tips and tails for bigger boosts and smooth butters.
Bottom Line: Slay the whole mountain with Rossignol’s S1 Howell ski.
Would these skis be good for intermediate/advanced boys, aged 10 and 12, weighing 95-110 lbs? I see them on sale at Tramdock and was wondering. Any help appreciated.
It will be alright for either. The waist leaves little for float, but since most people on these are light and/or kids, that doesn't really make a difference. For ice though, the waist is almost to the stage were super quick edge transfers are gone, making ice more of a challenge.
Jibbing = using anything on the mountain in order to do tricks. This can be on cliffs, pillows, logs, rails, jumps, halfpipes, quarterpipes, stalls, etc.
Honestly if you are 6'2 you need a longer size than anything they have in stock in this ski. I wouldn't go less than 178ish. If you go too short, it'll be weird, because people typically mount their bindings forward more than on a traditional ski.
Im looking for skis that are twin tipped, cheap, pretty good for the terrian parks, and i can ride on slopes, are these good, or are there better ones?
It depends really. These come in pretty short lengths, so if you want to ride a longer ski that is fairly cheap but rips it, check out the K2 Silencer. Comes in a longer length, a slightly wider tip and tail, and a fir core, which I think is a better all around core. Plus, the blood red looks sick. These are also good though, so it's ultimately up to you.

Do these skis require a binding plate to mount the bindings? What is the purpose of the the plate?
