Product Info
Rossignol SAS S5 Barras Skis 2009 - Sin number 5 Greed - Rossignol is ready to take you to the ultimate of excess: the SAS S5 Barras Skis. The Rossignol SAS S5 Barras Skis were created with a dual wood core, a hybrid of two separate woods that will make you crave the feel and flex. You will covet the Rossignol SAS S5 Barras Skis weight reducing system patented by Rossignol. The SAS S5 Barras are the future of all mountain skis. Whether it is throwing down switch 10 in the park or skiing bottomless powder, the S5 is all about versatile. The 98mm waist combined with a progressive sidecut gives the rider a huge advantage in soft snow and facilitates hookup on the groomers. The S5 is the KING of "The New School" all mountain skis. With athlete insight and the artistic touch of legend, Will Barras, the Rossignol S5 Barras Skis will have you piggishly hoarding them, which is exactly what Will Barras wanted: “I did a unique piece for both the top-sheet and the base of the ski. As you can see the base of the greed ski shows a man flying in clouds of jewellery and the same man on the top-sheet is willing to die to catch a diamond.”

Other Features
Will Barras, as a rider and artist, how important are board graphics to you? “I’m not really a rider.... but I like the canvas to be a usable object, a means of transport. So the artwork for me should be an extension of the board or skis dynamic capability, or maybe offer a narrative involving it or the rider. If you look at the greed skis you can see the way the character reaches towards the front of the skis almost like it’s greedy to move forward fast!”
WRS- Weight Reducing System – patented by Rossignol. Intelligent distribution of fibers in the ski structure to balance flex, reduce weight, with no loss to resistance. This technology was developed and tested by Candide Thovex. Weight saving 400g per pair with constant flex and resistance properties
Tri Core- A hybrid core made from three different materials: Poplar for lightness and liveliness; Fume wood for quick response and ski-to-snow feel and Microcell for absorbing shocks and vibrations.

Terrain:
All-Mountain, Powder

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm. Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Camber
More
Rocker Type
Camber Camber is the traditional profile for skis offering skiers lots of edge hold, especially on harder snow. A cambered ski has a smooth arch underfoot and contact points near the tip and tail when unweighted. Camber skis excel at carving on hard snow; you won’t ever see a ski racer on anything other than cambered skis.
- Turning Radius (m): 21m @ 185cm

Tail Type:
Partial Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Partial Twin Tip Partial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.
