Fun Skis

I have the S6's in the 174 length set up for tele skiing. The skis are big enough to float in the deep with very minimal tip-dive. They're fun in crud and choppy stuff because you can turn quickly with the traditional twin-tip shape and camber. They're not the most nimble on groomers and bumps, but they ski surprisingly well. There is definetly a fair bit of sidecut. It's a very forgiving ski and has a mild flex. I've had problems with Rossi's delaminating in the past, but so far the S6's are holding. At 106 underfoot, they're not too much of a best to take touring if you've got free pivot bindings. They're a great ski on the down, so I don't mind dragging them up.

It's not on backcountry.com, but the dimensions are slightly different for the 174cm length. They are stamped on the ski as follows: 134/106/129.
