Rossignol Radical R9X Ti Oversize (2007)

I bought them on Saturday and used them on Sunday at “El Colorado”, 35 Km from Santiago, Chile. These are great skis. In recent yaers I have skied on Olins (wonderful) and K2’s (disappointing). Well, these Rossignols are really good. The ski is comfortable and smooth at high speeds in large turns…its favorite style. But, it is nevertheless surprisingly easy to turn at all speeds. It holds on well to hard compact snow and is pleasant in soft powder. However, at high speeds and in staight lines it tends to loose stability and needs to be well directed. Just one advice: do no lean back in a curve or you’ll be ejected backwards! Bottom line: you can’t make a mistake by getting these skis!
