Rossignol Experience 83 TPX review 2013

PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments

The Experience 83 is a good ski for the runs, but not really comfortable in off-piste conditions as required for the "Versatile Freeride" category. We would recommend this model for middling to good skiers who're sports-oriented, who love the groomers and carving, and who want to get off the runs from time to time.

Review: Pros

• The Experience 83 performs well on the groomers with wholly reliable stability and grip, especially comfortable railing groomers and carving.

Review: Cons

• The Expérience 83 is less effective on untracked snow, brought down by its shape rigidity.
• The ski is rigid and is difficult to bend. You have to really push down hard, and it requires a lot of energy... the ski is especially difficult for lighter skiers.
