These boards are very light and fun to play on in the park! The graphics are sick and they are an amazing all mountain ski!!

Love the skis, seem to do everything well and I have abused them to no end. No topsheet problems here, hit a few rocks on the bottoms but they patched up fine. Not too stiff and not too soft, very solid underfoot where I like it. Next stop S7's when I get the cash!

I'm 5'7" 140 lbs and I bought the 171's. In hindsight I wish I would have gone longer because they ski short. All in all these are a great all mountain ski. I knew they would float well in the powder due to their size and all the reviews I had read, but i was really suprised how well they handle in the crud and the groomers. I ski very fast and I haven't had any problems with them chattering at high speeds.

Rossi started with a good idea, but ended it with the crappiest top sheet I have ever seen. Because the tips are "scooped out" (less core material at the edges) I broke two pair of these skis, on all four tips. The top sheet cracks, water gets in, and they de-lam... A skiers nightmare. This always happened when landing larger kickers. Not only that, I have scored some core shots on the TOP of my skis from some gnarly crashes. Thats right, I said core shots on the TOP of my skis. These had to be dried and filled ASAP to prevent dry rot to the core. Rossi was good to work with, and held up their end of the warranty, but the warranty is now over and I am just waiting for this pair to snap. You can seriously "scratch" off the tops sheet with your fingernail. How ironic...

The ski rides great in the park and powder. I love it. But on the groomers they chatter like mad if you are carrying any speed at all.

I LOVE these skis. They float above the pow-pow like nothing else i've skied on and handle groomers with massive amounts of speed. They look great, flex incredibly well when you need it and can handle any snow/mountain condition from the backcountry to the park. The top surface does scratch pretty easily but if that's the only complaint I can muster, WELL worth it!

I use these on groomers, in the park, and in backcountry - they perform very well everywhere. Flotation in powder is terrific, and they are an extremely durable ski. I have not had any problems with the top surface scratching off but have ridden over some rocks and had to have the bottoms cleaned up - they filled in fine. I would recommend this ski to anyone at this price.

i got these mounted with some marker barons, and have been out hiking on them several times, and i have also used them in the resort several times. light, but fairly fat, and exactly what i was looking for. Besides for a few dings, in them, i have absolutely no complaints. super fun skis!

I have to say in all fairness that I've only had these out for six days in Colorado, Breck and Keystone mostly, but all on days where it had fresh on the ground. The flotation is nice, just sit back and these things just push through deep snow. Theyre faster than I expected, and they actually turn better as well! The BC's are lightweight, and ever so importantly, they look sick. I am 5 11 and weigh about 165, I ski about 65 days a year, and would say I am a pretty aggresive skier. Iwent with the 178's, really glad I did, just the right amount of ski for someone in my height and weight range. Dont know that I'd ski on them a lot though unless there's plenty of snow to push through, the nagative is that they do take dings a bit easier, mine already have a small one. But I plan one using these skis for days when mother nature blesses us!! Singing evo's praises, great site!!!

This is a really good ski for all conditions, and it is a monster when it's icy- I never lose grip. The only regret I have is I bought the 171, I should have definitely gone longer.
