I agree with both reviews By Quackey Mcknuckles from New England on 03/06/2009 Pros: Lightweight, Look good, Right Price Best Uses: Backcountry Touring, Powder boards, Telemarking Describe Yourself: Advanced Skier Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I agree with the two other reviews. I ordered these after receiving an additional coupon. I noticed the de-lamination problem after I mounted these with my 02's. The name should be a dead give-away at what these skis excel at. I've skied them in 12-18" in Utah and some tight and deep trees in VT, and think they handle this type of snow well. They are not the quickest skis, and don't snap out of turns like stiffer skis do, but they are not designed to. I am interested to see how well they handle spring corn. Overall I like the ski, but would not buy them if I was to own only one pair of telemark skis. We'll see how well they hold up. Fortunately, Sierra Trading Post respects their customers and stands by the products they sell.
By Sam from The Finger Lakes, NY on 02/24/2009 Pros: Glide on snow, Look good Cons: Better choices out there, Lack excitement in turn, Poor Construction Describe Yourself: Collegiate/Pro Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought these skis to mount for telemark....saw the price and had 20% discount on top with a coupon...thought I had myself a great deal! Received the skis and mounted and skied them twice. Skis are dull in turns...too soft. But the worst thing, is the terrible construction. Tips already starting to delaminate...in process of returning skis to Sierratradingpost.com. I have been skiing for over 36 years and I have come to recognize the best manufacturers of skis out there....these Rossignols are lame.
By Tele-Mark from Sierra Mountains, California on 02/18/2009 Cons: 08-09 models are wider Describe Yourself: Advanced Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Awesome telemark skis! Great in the trees and powder! Also carve sweet turns in the crud.
Resort skiing is fun on these skis as well.
The 08/09 model is even wider, thus making the ski float even better in the powder.
I skied them in 2 feet of powder, in the woods, and the skis performed very well. I highly recommend these telemark skis to intermediate and advanced telemark skiers.
