iain Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 ...I was wondering if anyone has spent some time on rossignol bandit xx's in the backcountry and if they had any input. Way too heavy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iain Posted June 26, 2002 Author Share Posted June 26, 2002 the XXX looks like it could double as a water ski. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poseur Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 I also spend a fair amount of time on lifts, and try as I might, can't seem to shake the "need for speed". I'm currently wrestling with that and getting a hardcore GS setup, or continuing on in slow mo by getting into that silly tele thing. Â Good time of year for bargains.

Poseur Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 I almost went with them but the weight and Tuas rep for butter smooth turns got me on the 112s. The Tua's are everything they were cracked up to be (smooooth) but I bet the stiffness and weight of the xx's or xxx's would make them better performers on lift served, hard crud, and at speed. Â For issues of weight, I still sometimes wonder if I should have gone with the 110s - I think you may be on to something regarding the xx's vs. xxx's.

iain Posted June 27, 2002 Author Share Posted June 27, 2002 I've been skiing AT w/ Tua Mitos. They rattle my teeth on hard stuff at speed so I was looking for something with some beef to it. I was looking at the 110s but thought I might like the Rossi XX's. I spend more time inbounds than I care to admit, so I've been eyeing alpine skis. Thanks for the input.

mikeadam Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 I toured all year on XXX's. XX's are for lift served pussies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
