Roxy Helter Skelter Ski - Women's
July 13, 2009
Hi, I'm tossing up between getting some helter skelter's or some shazam's. Based soley on all the wicked reveiws for the helter skelter on this site, I'm leaning towards them. I have no chance to demo anything. need to buy something quickly - it's winter here in Australia now. I'm just wondering how to differentiate between these 2 ski's and figure out which is going to be better for Australian/NZ conditions - short runs, lots of sloppy crud, ice, groomers, and crusty corn snow - the nice pow days few and often far between. I'm 5'2, 52kg small, but technical and aggressive skier. Your advice is appreciated. Thanks

Rossignol Bandit B100-Quad Alpine Ski
September 22, 2008
Who has ridden bandits? Im finally shopping for ski's again - been 7 years on Atomic beta-ride, which I originally chose because they were light, and have looked after me through the revolution despite being old school. But I do want more grunt, more width for pow....and something that will hold better on groomies. anyone?
