I loved this ski, it is soft without being sloppy. Its lightweight and still stable at high speeds. It a fun ski for all over the mountain.

BUT..... The tail base and edge peeled off slightly after a minor fall. I sent them to rossi through my local shop and figured that they would fix them quick or even replace them. I was wrong. It took them 1 month before they notified the shop that they had received the skis and another month to fix them. When I finally got my skis back, a good part of the season was gone. The repair was pretty crappy and seemed like a 5 minute epoxy job. It has recently come undone and I plan on sending them back to rossignol again... after the season is over.

I like this ski but, I will never buy from rossignol again. It seems like their quality and service has really dropped off in recent years.

I purchased the matte black version of this helmet and I have been told it look pretty cool. I wear it with smith prodigy goggles and the strap fits underneath the helmet comfortably due to the design of the protective foam inside. I haven't taken and falls with the helmet yet, but i be that if i do, there will be a nice bruise from the prodigy's clip at the back of my head. The only downside to the whole wearing the goggle strap inside the helmet part is that you really cannot take off your goggle without taking off your helmet. This is problematic to me because I teach skiing and I usually try to have my goggles off when I am introducing myself to students and at other times when I feel that I have something important that I should communicate. I usually unclip the helmet and move everything up on my head, but it still feels weird to me. I will concur with the "Not So Much" review in saying that this helmet moves around a little at first. But I moved the padding around so that now, it fits solid on my head. I haven't been skiing with it in really warm weather yet, but it doesn't have much ventilation. So I envision my head getting pretty warm this spring. I feel this is a problem with a lot of helmets until you get into the move expensive ones with huge adjustable vents.
All in all though, a great inexpensive helmet that looks pretty cool and takes some time to get used to.

This is my favorite piece of ski equipment I own. No gripes and all praise.

I have had these goggles for 2.5 winters now and they are still close to as awesome as the day I bought them. The only damage to the frame and lens is tree induced and completely my fault and less then I would expect from what happened. (I ran into a large evergreen limb with lots of little sticks on it with my face) The sensor mirror looks cool while providing the best visibility from a goggle lens in the widest range of conditions. I have skied days that ranged from torrential downpour to sunny bluebird and not once have these goggles let me down. The times I doubted them, I took them off my head to find out that I could only see worse without them on my face.
They also fit great. I have a bigger head so I bought these and they have fit my head and two different helmets perfectly. The face foam is great, its fleece lined and wicks sweat away from your skin on those warm spring days while sealing out cold wind in the middle of February.
I ski 100+ days every winter and I take these goggles with me every day. I have gotten way more use out of them than I ever expected, the zeals i had before them hardly lasted half a season before the inter lens seam failed, and when the face foam finally falls apart (its starting and I'm kinda sad) after what I expect will be around 400 days on the mountain, I will happily buy another pair of these goggles.

I bought the 32L version and it fits great while holding lots of stuff. I took it out yesterday for my avalanche level 1 class and it organized all the avy gear great. When we were doing mock searches I was the first one with my probe or shovel out and ready to go.
I also carried some extra layers and food in the inside pocket and had tons of room to spare. This would easily make a great bag for a two or three night trip.
The ski carry is solid and I like the two different options. It fits great, make sure you use the measuring chart to get the right size. There and no real pressure points and it feels really natural and doesn't get in the way while skiing.
Overall a this is a great pack for skiing.

I have a larger head and this hat still fits nice. The fleece lining at the bottom prevents the wool from being too itchy. I love the blue design, it goes with most of my jackets and is stylish without being ridiculous.

I used this beacon in my avalanche level 1 class and it is very intuitive. We went through a bunch of mock burials and it was easy to follow the signal right to the pack we had buried. It is precise so be sure to move slow when you are bracketing the signal. The harness places this beacon right above your hip and you barely notice it until you need it. When you do need it, it come out on a little cord that keeps it close even if you drop it (if your a klutz like me). For a simple beacon, this is the one to buy.
