Rossignol S6 Caballero Ski

Rossignol S6 Caballero Ski

Rating for this product: 5 September 30, 2009

Demoed this ski last year (186) and absolutely fell in love. Switch riding was a breeze with the insane amounts of stability from the 110 underfoot. But it skis so nimbly, that you don't realize it's size until you look down. Only thing these skis can't do well is moguls haha.
Hardpack - felt great carving at med/high speeds..stable, and very responsive and predictable flex pattern.
Crud - i'm used to riding freestyle skis, so this was a huge upgrade in stabillity, the extra length and stiffness underfoot made the ski bust through crud with ease, and the softness in the tip/tail made it so your knees didn't take much abuse no matter what the terrain.
Powder - the size/playfulness of this ski made it a blast in the pow, as well as being easily able to initiate turns and go turn to turn quickly, it was able to charge hard without losing responsiveness.
Park - They were a bit big for larger spins/switchups, but good for an EPesque riding style.. slow deliberate smooth spins. Things had tons of pop.. so much so that I flew over a few landings while getting used to it... not as easy on the knees. And again, very stable to ride switch, with tons of length/width to back you up however fast you want to go.

Bottom line - Amazing all mountain freestyle ski. Pretty much a giant park ski. Same general idea as the SFB or Lizzie, but a tad stiffer underfoot, and less sym. I believe.
