2012 Rossignol S7 Review

by VD.
Feb 13th 2012 - 0 comments

My review of the 2012 Rossignol S7s, got a chance to demo them earlier today In Short: -l these skis are an easy to use fun ski for the beginner/intermediate powder skier, they are not the quickest and on the 188s, I found I was wanting more ski ski (bear in mind I'm only 5'9"). THey are responsive and pivoty, I think they would be a good tree-skiing ski, if you're looking to charge big lines go with the super7s
