Big Mtn Jedi?

Rossignol Phantom Pro RC112 Ski

Rossignol Phantom Pro RC112 Ski

Rating for this product: 5 August 24, 2009

If you're a big mtn skier, this ski will improve your game.

I thought I knew my speed limit until I tried the RC 112. If you're comfortable making three turns down the cirque @ Snowbird on whatever you ski on now, try it again on the 112 and you'll be able to ski twice as fast, make half as many turns and it’ll feel as stable as standing on a sidewalk. The rockered tip eliminates the fear of catching your tip at that speed and makes stomping cliffs impossible to F*** up. If you find the need to correct your line mid run the stiff, flat, square tail can shut down 70mph in a nanosecond or correct your trajectory off of a cliff when you think it's already too late.

Perfect weight to hard charging ratio

Rossignol S6 Caballero Ski

Rossignol S6 Caballero Ski

Rating for this product: 5 August 24, 2009

My friends and I all have a pair of these mounted with Randonee bindings but we ski them everyday. For how fat it is, it'll ski everything, everywhere. When the time comes to unlock the heel and go touring in the backcountry its weight reduction construction pays off big time without making the ski too light. Learn from my mistake, if a ski is too light it won't ski well. The S6 is the perfect mix of light weight and hard charging.

Viva le revolution

Rossignol S7 Barras Ski

Rossignol S7 Barras Ski

Rating for this product: 5 August 24, 2009

A lot of reverse camber skis advertise that they ski well on hardpack, the truth is, the S7 is the only one. My first impression was so strong on hardpack that it made me wonder if the design would compromise the way it handled in deep snow. Rest assured, it's designed for powder first and the way it skis on groom is a miracle.

I was convinced that I would have to set up a shrine in my garage for reverse camber skis. The kind of place that I would keep neat and tidy most of the winter in anticipation for that perfect 1' or more powder day. I started the season with a quiver of skis for that reason. By the end of the season I was riding the S7 everyday and sold off my quiver

NOTE ON SIZING: Order this ski longer than you would a normal camber ski. Keep in mind that the tip and tail are off of the ground on groom snow and in powder, the more length the better.
