Rossignol Soul 7 review 2016

PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments

With the Soul 7, Rossignol put the focus on accessibility (which is indeed remarkable).
However, this means it loses a few points in the comparative test (in difficult skiing conditions), but Rossignol is obviously targeting the mid-range market: intermediate to good skiers who are looking for a ski that will help them to progress in freeride. The Soul 7 is certainly a good choice for this group of riders.
Experienced riders are likely to look for more demanding and more efficient models like the Enforcer or the Cochise.

Review: Pros

• A light, enjoyable ski
• Especially easy to use in short turns
• Rotates easily and handles well,
• Easy skid turns
• Good grip up to intermediary speeds

Review: Cons

• Lacks stability and grip at high speeds
• Limited performance off piste
• NB ProSkiLab™: the 2016 all mountain 30/70 ski review conditions (despite the date being pushed back several times) were exceptionally bad: e.g. transformed snow, crusting off-piste, hard pack on the piste. In these conditions, more rigid skis with better grip and better skimming power in uneven snow conditions tend to do better
