Rossignol S6 Koopman Alpine Ski

Item #ROS0387 | 0 in Stock

Just curious if there is anybody out there with any recent mounting...

By Ranked #52 - Big Mountain Freeride Skis January 8, 2009

Just curious if there is anybody out there with any recent mounting recommendations for the S6. I see there are 3 marks on the ski. I'm not doing any park riding, but all over everywhere else. I have a 177cm Mantra that I mounted traditional but not sure what to do on the 186cm S6's. I tried a 189cm Obsethed w/Marker griffon binding mounted 1cm ahead of traditional but thought it was too heavy for my liking all day long, can't wait to try these very light S6's with Z12 Ti bindings. Wanted to put the Griffon on them but just couldn't put a stark white binding on this killer looking ski.

I just bought the 186 S6, and mounted them on the back line out of the three. I would not mount any forward than this. I looked into even moving it back another cm or two but the ski is designed for those mount points. In the BC yesterday carving some big fresh turns i noticed some drag in my outside ski, could be a number of things but I have been wondering if its bc of the center mount.......anyway....mount back in my opinion, you will still be plenty balanced if you want to do all your fakie-ness. I mounted mine on the middle of the three lines and its PERFECT, i like to ski switch, though im not very flippy spinny, but the "modern" line is perfect for me, they charge everything awesome, forwards and backwards. 5"10' 165 lbs, riding 185's
