I don't know that its fair for me to judge these ski's, since I wasn't the one using them. However, I watched my wife use them all day and got alot of input from her so what the hey, I'll give you our collective opinion.
Today was my wifes first time ever on skis. The Rossi Evo's worked great for her. We spent the whole day on an ungroomed, but well used trail in pretty slick snow conditions. They seemed to be pretty sure footed on the up (especially for a beginner), and helped to keep her speed down on the descent. I would have liked to see a little better glide out of them than I did ( I would coast on by on the down and have to stop and wait, or stay in a constant snow plow while she worked herself down).
All in all I would say that they were a very stable and controllable ski for the beginner. There were no problems in the turns and she only ate the trail twice on a first ever 12K runabout.
