My Stats5'9"135lbsExpert Skier188cm S7After going to the Rossignol booth about five times to try to get this ski, I was disappointed with what I found. The S7 is the Indiana Jones 4 of skis: very overrated and disappointing. The rocker and soft flex create a very forgiving ski, but not much else. I didn't feel stable on this ski at all, and had a very hard time skiing anything not powder. The S7 is awful in crud, with lots and lots of tail flap. Also the rocker makes it extremely easy to become skiing in the backseat in if you're not careful, and I almost had the crash of my lifetime because of it. Maybe I should've tried the Super 7, but the 188 was one of the worst skis of the day. Go for the 2011 K2 Obsethed instead. It did everything the S7 was supposed to do.I reviewed several other skis at the demo.[@]

Tried the S7,S3 and SC97 at the Rossignol demo hut at Deer Valley during Easter break 2010. The S7 FAR surpasssed the other skis on heavy powder days (had appxt 70" over 7 days). The S7 rode decent out of the powder too but in powder it was surreal. I would definitely buy this ski.

seriously, you havnt been skiing untill you have been on these things!at first i thought 'yea, they will sweet in pow but hoe the hell am i ment to get back to the lift with all that reverse camber and sidecut???' but as soon as you get on the hardpack you feel just as confident as in the powpow!! i mean, they could sell these creatures as freaking giant slalom skis! but its in any offpiste that these boards put on the gas and let rip, you just gotta hope like hell you cranked up your DIN up high enough so you dont come flying out! in all seriousness, these are LIFE CHANGING SKIS!! at any chance you have, demo them and i guarantee you will not be dissapointed, whatever the conditions!!

The S7 does for skiing what hydraulic disc brake, full suspension bikes did for biking. No need to stress about you line, just point them down and enjoy it. These skis make everything easy. If you are looking for a powder/tracked crud ski that will help you stick with your more advanced buddies, look no further, this is it.

Sick pow ski.Same model as the '09 s7. Except the '10 graphics are way cheesy.Stick with the '09. Less money and much better looking graphics.

I only own the super 7's and cannot comment on the 188's. The only drawback about these skis would be that they feel short on hardpack, but hey, you're only scooting a traverse or back to a lift anyway. The skis will carve a groomer like the old Rossi XXX's.
Personally, I've never been in the backseat on these skis and only get this effect from stiffer boards like the BSquads.
These are the funnest skis for trees and pow.

This ski is awesome. Didn't get to ski it in much new snow but it seems like a ski that would be able to kill it all day. Might not be the best powder specific ski due to its slightly skinnier waist, but it would absolutely crush anything in its path. The 195 has metal in it which significantly ups it stability and ability to ski fast through any terrain. It seems to have no speed limit and skied like a tank through crud and could still arc pretty well on groomers. I think this might be one of the best one ski quivers out there and I would love to ski it on a pow day.

I love the S7!!! It's perfect everywhere. Powder, all mtn, groomers, crud... you name it! It's flexy enough to butter but stable enough to power through the crud without chatter. I'd definitely recommend the S7!
