PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments

The Attraxion III Echo got a ‘reviewers favourite’ ranking. It is an ideal ski for the “intermediate” category. This truly accessible ski will reassure the beginner and the intermediate skier, at the same time allowing them to make technical progress to intermediate level or even to the level of a good skier. In addition to its technical and learner-oriented qualities, the ski’s enjoyable and fun character gave it a real edge over the others. It’s highly recommended by Winter-Sports.com.

Review: Pros

  • The Rossignol Attraxion 3 is easy to use. Its manoeuvrability, and stable and reassuring character, together with its ease of handling in skid turns make it an excellent ski for beginners and intermediate skiers. Its main strong point though (a crucial factor in this category) is the way it handles in carving, helping the skier to move on to more technical skiing. The ski is polyvalent, capable of alternating short and long-radius turns, and is extremely enjoyable and fun to use.

Review: Cons

  • The reviewers reported more limited performance at high speeds in very dynamic turns, which is normal for a learner’s and intermediary ski.
