Rossignol Scratch Sprayer BC Skis 2007

This review is for the 2006 model, the Scratch BC.

After holding out for many years I was inspired to get some fat skis last season. We got some good powder days in Washington, and while purists might scoff at Cascade concrete it still made for some awesome days off the beaten track. The Scratch BC skis never let me down last season, eating up powder, crud, and even groomed runs without breaking a sweat. While they don't have the end of turn power of my Rossignol 9X pseudo-GS skis, I wouldn't say they're lacking, either.

Would I buy them again? Most definitely yes. What's keeping them from 5 stars? Well, they don't carry themselves from the parking lot, and I guess ice isn't their forte, or mine for that matter.

Great pair of skis. Bought these almost 2 years ago and haven't looked back. I ski in Colorado and they more than hold their own in powder. Flotation is great with speed, I've skied waist-deep in this and saw the tips the whole time. Hard snow can get a little rough if it is bumpy; the light weight and good flexibility of these skis will definitely make you feel the snow if you're going fast. I feel like the swing weight could be a bit better but they hold a remarkably good edge even on average east-coast hardpack, and the turnover is nice and quick.

Great ski, great value, as long as you keep it to the park, powder, and groomers. The description above doesn't lie, but if it's super icy out I'd leave these at home and get something stiffer.

I'm 19 years old and have been skiing since I was 8. As you can imagine, my generation is all about skiing everything, so I spent weeks trying to find something that a college kid could afford, but at the same time put to use anywhere and everywhere. I test-skied the Public Enemy and really like it, but to tell you honestly the Scratch puts that ski to shame. I mean the Scratch is WAY better on the groomed stuff and holds an edge really well on icy stuff, but at the same when I'm skiing in the powder, I feel like I have plenty underfoot. The ski snaps over on hard turns almost as good as a carving ski. Riding switch feels really natural when mounted at modern, although it would probably feel even better mounted at center. Overall I'm really, really happy with this ski. Although it does have a softer top sheet than some, it's way better than a lot of other twin tips I've seen. So if you're looking for a great all around the mountain sort of ski at an affortable price, look no farther.

My ski has the black graphic, which may be the 2006 model. Surprisingly versitile, holds very well on ice, very quick turning and responsive, and handled a foot of powder with ease. Skis hard snow well enough to be an east coast all mountain ski, and handle powder days as well. A lot of fun to ski.

great ski. I used it out east a couple of times to start the season and they floated well over a little powder, gripped well on ice, and were nice and quick through the trees. I was very impressed: a great all-mountain ski with twins that treat you well in the park. I recommend the ski to anyone who likes to be all over the mountain.

I used to race untill I got bored with it and I moved into the park. After that some friends convinced me to go do some BC. I do not sink at all, and they are great in the park since they are nice and easy to move around in the air. [...]
