Rossignol Sickle Ski

Rating for this product: 4 April 26, 2012

I love them, they are great in deep snow, and feel surfier than wider boards I've used. As far as hardpack goes, they like to go very fast, and hold a wicked edge for such a wide ski. It hadn't snowed in a week and i was boosting 20+ feet off rocks and cat tracks onto icy morning groomers, they stomp. I've skied them in almost all conditions except for true blower and bulletproof ice. Don't imagine they'd do that well on hard ice, but better than most powder skis. The rocker is very subtle and will force you to ski on edge unless you enjoy tip flapping. When the edges are engaged, the sidecut arcs turns like butter. In a turn, there is more running legnth (active edge) than the S7's that are cambered underfoot. They are playful when asked to be, and solid when skied hard. They're a great tele ski, and surprisingly nimble in bumps. They ski like a snake, slithery.
Two drawbacks of this ski:
1. They get weird in super sticky, hot, wet snow
2. The topsheets look a little too worn for only having been skied for three weeks.
