Comments about Rossignol Bandit B4 Skis 2007:

I love these skis. I recently broke my old B3's (which were the exact same ski) and had to get a new pair. I also own a pair of the B-Squads which are insane but they are only worth skiing in the powder. The B4's are good in any condition PERIOD. Powder, trees, cliffs, groomers...you name it. These skis kill it.

Comments about Rossignol Bandit B4 Skis 2007:

These skis are definatly best for powder. I got to ski Wolf Creek this year during the biggest storm they've had to date (150 inches in 7 days) The powder was bottomless and these things plowed through without a problem. As well I've skied the groomers. They're decent on groomers but again are really at home in the powder so dip off into the trees and find yourself some fresh snow.

Comments about Rossignol Bandit B4 Skis 2007:

Having owned four previous skis in the Bandit series, (xx, xxx, and B3), I had a pretty good idea what I would be getting into. With a foam core, these skis deliver a consistent flex with low weight. While some have questioned durability, I have well over 150 days on all pairs with no issues. I like the shorter ski (moved down from 191 to 188 to 184 now the B4 in a 178) for all but the fastest and most aggressive lines. I mounted these with the Fritschi Freeride+, and couldn't be happier with an inbounds and BC setup. If you need a super-stiff ski, check out the Squads. If you are mortal and like to turn, check out the B4's. They are $$$. Enough width to float, enough sidecut to turn, and light enough to tour with.

evo Response: Heck yeah, I tour on these too!
