Rossignol RPM 17 Skis: Great !

Fri, 7 Sep 2007 00:01:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author klemky - One of the few skis where the performance exceeds the description, cuts through crud, holds on ice, fast, stable & rips everywhere else. Later models based on the RPM have morphed into less attractive and inferior performers. If you can find RPM's,...

Are you "in" Supershape?

Sat, 18 Nov 2006 07:37:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author icio - The wrong fashion. Supershape as fashion police. Those of you who have been reading me know that I am a Monster freak. If it says Head Monster on the ski, I must have it. Yet, recently, observing skiers on the slopes I have come to the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author snoborder - I have been snowblading for a long time, and I have to say these are the best, highest quality snowblades I have ever used. I just love the finish on them and they are so fast, but still strong enough for me to drop off 40+ feet cliffs on them. I even...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pbohart - 2002 was a wild year for me in terms of Skiing. In the past I usually have had a single pair of skis for 5-6 years, but for strange reasons I actaully ended up skiing three different skis in 2003 season: Salomon Scream 10 Pilot, Atomic Sugar Daddy, and...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author evgeney - I found Hot Pilot 10 to be very aggressive on the turns, it will rip the snow from underneath you. At the same time they are easy to control especially when you go really fast. The only flow I found is that they are not great in powder. I took them to...
