Rossignol Experience 88 review 2015
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
As a true piste ski, its performance is less impressive than some of its rivals in this category. A good choice for riders who prefer the piste and the spaces between pistes, where its capacity to absorb the terrain and its performance in crud will make the difference.
Review: Pros
- Behaves very well on piste
- Easy to use and performs well in skid turns
- Stable and reassuring at high speeds
- Behaves well in crud, very good cushioning qualities.
Review: Cons
- Slight lack of personality
- Ski designed for piste and less happy off-piste, lack of floatation in deep snow
