Rossignol

BC 125 Positrack Ski

Your buddy just called, saying he'd met this super-rad hermit that lives with a wolf in a homemade yurt up in the Beartooths, and telling you to get your ass up there in a hurry. Load up your pack, mob to the trailhead, and strap on the Rossignol BC 125 Positrack―its waxless Positrack technology means you won't waste any time fiddling with skins, and the lightweight Honeycomb Wood/Air core won't slow you down on the skinner. When you meet the Hermit, down the whiskey he offers you, pat his "dog" on the head, and tell him all about how the slight rip rocker, wide sidecut, and low camber profile help you to shred all sorts of different snow.

If he likes you, he might offer to hook you up to his wolf for the most awesome tow up the mountain you've ever experienced. You'll thank the ski gods for the torsionally stiff fiberglass laminate Active Cap construction and full-length metal edges when you're getting pulled by a wild beast, and praise them again on the way down when you're cruising through soft snow thanks to the forgiving outer cap material. When you go past the yurt for the last time, high-five the hermit, toss the wolf a piece of your beef jerky, and cruise home to tell everyone about the best day ever.
