Im looking for a something to ski mostly on piste but also a little off-piste. I want a ski that can surf in powder, smash through crud, and throw the steezy 360 every now and then. Coming from last years line anthems; looking for a much wider ski with some rocker. Liking the S7 but also looking at some others....any suggestions?

Hey, i tried out the S3's at a demo once. They are amazing. With a 98 underfoot they are perfect for powder. But still rock when on groomed. The only thing is that its a REALLY flexible ski. Like spaghetti. Wich makes it fun. But one step up from that is the S7. Thats why im getting the S7. Its fatter. And not as flexible. But still kinda like spaghetti for fun

Well im coming from a pair of line anthems so i definetly want something wider (around 110) and with some rocker. I will be skiing off piste as much as possible (planning on putting some barons/dukes on them). But i want a ski that can handle fresh and variable snow in the resort. I love a playful ski that can really slash turns and i heard the s7 is like that

A good Rossi option for you would be the Rossignol S3 Koopman. http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Rossignol-S3-Koopman-Alpine-Ski/ROS0387M.html It's a blend of park shape and all mountain performance. You get a similar rocker profile as the S7 here, but a more piste oriented shape. The S7 is pretty fun on groomers, but is definitely more suited to deep, natural snow. If you spend most time on groomed terrain, the S7 may feel too wide (less agile). Rossi sets up dozens of resorts with demo fleets. Go try out the S3. You'll end up pretty stoked!
