I was hoping to get a pair of VS this season, but the deal fell through 
Atomic B5 this year. Atomics ski nice, but don's seem to hold up under my petite build and delicate ski style.

Re: 5S
Today at Mount Snow I saw a guy on 4S's. They were vintage. He was a pass holder too. He could move in them pretty well.

I have a pair of the 'wet noodle' CUT's.
Woot.
They're my everyday/rock ski until the spring. I figure a wet noodle can't bounce me around when I make feable attempts at mogul trails and they work in whatever else. A very blah ski, admitedly.
I usually stray from brand loyalty myself, but if you get a good deal on them, I'm also a slave to my frugality (read: I'm a cheap bastage), so who am I to judge.
The B2 was on my demo list, and the B1. I have the P50's for carving so I can sacrifice a bit of that aspect. We'll see.
Also, yes, bourbon = goodness.
... that is all.

Hmm...Rossis I had:
- Blue Stratos of some variety picked up from a swap, I think. I was young enough and skied poorly enough that it probably didn't matter what they were.
- Black Rossi 7SKs, 188cm, broke in a disagreement with a tree (along with my collarbone).
- Purple 7XKs, 203cm, don't recall what happened to them, but I had one of my better Super-G results on them.
- 193cm EX's, currently sitting in the corner without plates or bindings. May end up as woods skis this year.
- 188cm 7SK (yellow), currently sitting in another corner without plates or bindings. Excellent J-turn ski. May end up as furniture in the near future.
- 188cm 9S, currently sitting around with FK's bindings and risers. Last of the pre-shaped Rossi slalom skis.
- 191 cm Super Cut 9.9. All the torsional rigidity of a wet noodle. Sold.
- 191 cm 9X 9.9. Don't know why I didn't learn from the 191 Super Cuts, but they claimed this was a better ski. Don't know what happened to them; may have been sold.
- 198 cm 9X 9.3. In the corner with metal Rossi plates and Salomon Comp Springs. Decent cruiser.
- 215 cm DH skis (EX's topskin, but not Dualtec construction...these really date to the 7XK generation). Fast, wish I had more excuses to use them.
- 167 cm T-Power Vipers with a ridiculous amount of mileage and Rossi demo bindings -- my primary skis for the past couple of years, and one of my favorites.
I think I'd really like some of the newer all-mountain skis, but I don't forsee the cash to buy them happening this year.

Old Rossi
I might be dating myself a bit but when I got my Rossi 4S Kevlar I thought I had something good. But after I skied on my 2005 Dynastar Cross 10 178. I nailed them to the garage wall. Placed 7th out of 75 in NASTAR first race. Granded a 12 year old girl beat me.
My friend says his Rossi XScream cant hold him on ice like his old straight skis did. Maybe they are too long for him??

my last pair i turely owned were rossi cuts (got em for $50 with marker m61 bindings way back when...how could is say no?)
a friend gave my roommate a pair of rossi mogul skis which are pretty fun, I dont mind those. I actually ski them more then he does (for those who went to cannon with me, thats what I was on for that trip)

Wow...this thread is over 2 years old! Nice find V Gates and welcome to the forum. My ski buddy lives right off of Clay Pitts (just west of Larkfield.) Some Islanders on this forum as well.

I believe they changed the dimensions on the B1's last year, so I'm not sure if it changed the way the ski feels or not. However, I've got a set of BX's (04-05 B1's, with 06 topsheets),.and they perform great in just about any conditions here in the east. B3's are great in powder.
Broken 2 pair of B1's in last 3 years....one broke directly in front of toe piece and other behind heel piece
Not suited to any hard charging

What's your weight? I'm 145lbs, 6' 1", and have never had any problems of that sort, and I've taken them through bumps, trees, some drops, and just about anything else out there.....
