I have been telemarking for close to 30 years (gulp) and taught skiing for 5 seasons here and there. I have never found a Rossignol ski that I really liked-they always seem too flat...like K2's as well, I think they're just big ol' mass produced skis for the most prat. I am pretty picky, though.
I own a pair of the asymmetrical G3 Rapid Transits, my last ski before this was the asymmetrical G3 Tickets; I am a huge fan: they are well made, usually quite lively, and more than anything, they ski like a ski should. The Hombres are a big ski, though, I am not so sure you will get them to be lively in the bumps unless you get them relatively short for your size (which I did on purpose with my Rapid Transits-I got them in 171, mostly for bumps and trees-but in reality I probably should have gotten the 176!)

G3: The more you can give them the more they give back. Not so with Rossy or K2 (even tho you are not asking about K2's.) Were I to buy another G3 ski, it would be the Hombres to round out my quiver.
I have heard decent things about the Sick Bird, but I just tend to think G3, being a much smaller company, makes a better, more dedicated, and durable ski...

The best thing to do with any tele boot is go to a shop and try on your size, even if you do not plan on buying from them. I have been in a pair of older Garmonts for years, and they were Mondo 28.0. But my latest fitting, by excellent local boot fitters, put me into a Mondo 27.00; and they are really snug, but this is without the liners being molded to my foot yet. So I went down a size, yet I am sure my foot has not shrunk, and in fact has probably grown a little bit.So try 'em on first if you can, and make sure the people who help you know what they are doing. You need no more than 1-2 fingers at the most behind your foot in the shell without any liner, that is the way they size nowadays. 2 fingers, in fact would be too big.Good luck, these are awesome boots!
