Rossignol 2011 ski reviews

A spectacular mark(the highest ever given in a Winter-Sports.com ski test) for this ski which is impressive in every area. The Rossignol Radical 9 SL TI is particularly well positioned in the "Slalom" programme where we asked the brands for a good performance ski that was also accessible to a non-racing public. It is designed for a wide range of skiers from middle-of-the-road to confirmed, who are looking for... Read on

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... Read on

A’reviewer’s favourite’! The Alias Carbon is a really successful ski. It would suit both beginners and advanced skiers looking for a ski that’s both playful and manageable.

The ski tested was a 166cm, a size that was judged a little short by the reviewers. Moreover, the bindings on the model sent to us by Rossignol were too far forward. They needed to be moved back around 3cm for the test.

With its focus on accessibility and comfort, the well-balanced Rossignol Zenith Z76 Ti is particularly well-suited to the "Advanced" category. We would recommend this excellent ski to all intermediary to experienced skiers who are looking for an "easy" tool that offers reasonable performance for polyvalent performance on the slopes.

Rossignol has come up with a very exclusive ski that is similar to an FIS (competition ski endorsed by the International Ski Federation). Designed for skiers with excellent technical and physical prowess, the ski's stability and radius capacity places it somewhere between the Giant slalom and the Super G.

A first class ski for beginners and intermediary learners, the Attraxion 8's performance is too limited to rank high in the "Advanced" category. It's still an excellent choice for middle of the road skiers who are looking for user-friendliness and pleasure above all. Skiers looking to attack steep slopes on hard snow will be better off chooosing a more sports-oriented product.

The Rossignol S4 is versatile, and suitable for both park and piste skiing. It's a good choice for beginners and intermediary/confirmed freestylers who want to tear up the park and enjoy riding the piste. Expert frestylers, especially the well-built and those who want to attack hard snow, are likely to prefer a less flexible and more technical ski.

A good all-rounder, the Rossignol S80 is easy to handle, enjoyable and stable. It's a very good all-terrain ski, excellent for intermediary skiers and for vesatile on-piste skiing, yet equally at ease off the beaten tracks. This relatively flexible ski is better for lighter and average frames, and for skilled female skiers.

The Rossignol S86 is a really excellent freeride initiation ski and is suitable for intermediary to good skiers looking for a user-friendly and enjoyable tool that will help them progress both on and off piste. Expert freeriders and the more aggressive will probably prefer a more technical ski.
