picked up my Rossi S3's and tried them out at plattekill and Hunter. No deep powder anymore..just non stop moguls. Since this is real snow and not the crap they spit out of guns I still don't know how these things will work on ...ice. probably not too well. On this stuff as in real snow they rocked. Groomers where a blast, just shot down them..and they can carve! With reverse side cut on the tip and tails they can grab a carve. they did this because of the huge rocker both tip and tail. They are 186 in length but ski like a 168. In the moguls they where a blast, just blew through anything. At Platt it was powdery in the morning so they really could float through it. As the day went on it got firmer but they still cut through anything. Slamming into the mogul face was no problem as the rocker tip just glided you over it instead of into it. Turning is effortless they can pivot on a dime. on westway at Hunter they could make 90 degree turns...its pretty damn steep back there...overall they did great and I wasn't that tired after 8 hours straight at Plattekill. My volkls would have worn me out. Just wish I had these thursday and friday.
