Last week I got the Rossi Super 7's for a good price. The point was to finally add a fat ski to my quiver. I have carvers/racers and several all mountain skis. That covers everything except deep powder days. And by deep I mean deep. Not 3 or 4 inches. So, the plan was to use the Super 7's for the one or two yearly trips out west and for the one or two really deep days I get to ski in the east.
Happy to report I just used the super 7's out west on a powder day. Night and day compared to my mid 80's waist skis. I'm a happy camper. Floated over the snow. Felt like surfing. Can't believe what I was missing.
Now, don't get me wrong. Obviously, the Super 7's would be a horrible choice for a one ski quiver in the east. Heck, it would suck on 98% of the days here. If I
had to pick two skis for the east, I would go with a mid 80's all mountain ski and a narrow carver for the all too often hardpack days. But, when it's deep, it rocks. So, if you can splurge, add something like this to the quiver. I know most here were aware of this. But it was my first time skiing something this fat (115 underfoot). Given that the conditions were ideal for this kind of ski, it blew me away.
