Comments about Rossignol S7 Barras Skis 2010:

This is far-and-away my favorite ski I've ever owned. I am primarily into seeking out stashes and steeps, and these are the ultimate weapon for me. For folks that are into landing or skiing switch in the pow, you may be happier on something with a fatter tail. However, if you ski hard and face-first and are looking for something that isn't a noodle, but has a fun, powerful, versatile, and (did I mention) ridiculously fun ride, look no further. They're stiff and stable under foot and have a bit of side-cut, so they feel like little slalom skis on the groomed and in the bumps. Once you get them in the deep, they really come alive, and you can do basically anything -- butter, bounce, bomb, bonk, backflip baby-step, you name it. Make sure to get a longer ski than you're used to. I normally ski a 178-182 and have absolutely zero trouble with the 188's. Mount them +3 and get ready to feel invincible.

Comments about Rossignol S7 Barras Skis 2010:

As advertised, these skis are pretty good in the POW. However, they are definitely not the best POW ski out there. I like what Line and K2 are doing better in terms of deep snow skis.

If youre used to a more narrow cambered ski the S7 could be a good transitional ski, but eventually you must go fully rockered and fatter!
