Anyone have any experience with these?
I am looking at a used pair for a good price but the internet reviews seem mixed. I am a big guy, 6'7" 235lb so want a big ski. Looking at the 195. I don't have a lot of experience with big rocker'd skis so thought this would be a good option with traditional camber under foot.
I would be using this as my everyday, all over the mountain ski. All resort skiing, no back country.
If you're looking for a fairly easy riding ski that will pop and play without being a handful or demanding a ton of energy, these could be a good option. If you're the type of skier who likes to push hard and drive the tips, you may find these lacking a bit of oomph outside of tight terrain.
That's my take as well - great ski for most of the day - but pretty easy to top it out and find yourself looking for a little more ski to get to that next level of speed…
I have had them as my go to ski for the past two seasons . as a 210 lb 6'1" advanced skier .
These are very playful and keep a smile on my face .
I do have stiffer and wider skis in the quiver , but i consistently go back to my rossi
They are just plain fun . not the best at everything , just fun.
Volkl Gotama are also a good option for a fatter, reverse camber go everywhere ski. Probably a bit stiffer and you would be able to push them more. I like mine - I find I ski wayyyyyy faster than my buddy who has Rossi Super 7's…
consider reviewing your options :)
do they hold up. I haven't skied rossi since I had a couple pairs of triple x's. you even looked at a rock in the distance and a huge chunk of base, edge and sidewall would rocketship out the side. that was a while ago though, but for a long time rossi was like that. the bic pen of skis we called them
Hmm, mixed reviews again! For the price (under $300 with bindings) and the fact I am more interested in a fun/easy ski than a super fast/stiff charger, hopefully they work out.
probably a good choice specialy at only 300$, an important question to ask is does the binding DIN go high enough for your size ??
I know Rossi is popular down south but I don't see them much up here
300 with bindings. just do it , they will make you smile a bunch
To me rockered skis are a quiver ski. Is it the S7 that has "normal" camber and side cut underfoot? So you have a 190 with say 75 cm of tip and tail rocker combined which does nothing except flap about on firm snow. That means you're trying to ski hardpack on a 115 ? Great on powder. Terrible on hard snow. Some guys that ski a lot also find wide skis hard on their knees. Extra torque from the width.
Debate? Bikes are made for riding not pushing.
