These skies are awsome. All that you need to do is think "turn" and it happens on groomers. For an all mountain ski they carve into hardpack. Short is good. I am six feet tall and I have 184s. In the powder and crud, I am still testing.

I tried out the new Bandit X at Sun Valley. I liked the ski. It has very predictable manners and skis well. It''s an easy ski to turn, though not quite as nimble as say a Salomon Teneighty. As an all mountain ski, I would definitely recommend this ski. I''m 6'' and 175 and also skiied 177''s. I would definitely saty short with these skis.

I have never been a huge Rossignol fan, but I decided to give these a chance. From the first turn, I absolutely loved them. They bite really well in the hard pack and ice, are really quick edge to edge, stiff enough to be stable enough at high speeds, have enough flex to have some fun in the park (moderate twin tips help riding fakie), and they are fairly light. This is the best bandit yet, and you will not be sorry with these skis. Also, don''t go too long. I am 5''11'''', 160 lbs, and I ride the 177. Rossie recommended the 177, and I''m glad I listened. I''ve never had so much fun on a ski before.

Customer Service

Never had to use them, but when I had questions about sizing and other stuff they were very helpful. Four stars so far.
