S7 W

Round 1 – Powder Selection, Pick 11

This is the ski I recommend to every woman who has yet to embrace rocker. From the ex-racer who’s dabbling in the sidecountry but wants to carve the bottom of the groomer, to the park girl who’s ready for some float when it dumps, the S7 is the most versatile rockered ski on the market. We used to knock women’s skis that were simply a guy’s ski with a girly topsheet, but when the guy’s ski is the Rossi S7, everyone wins. The S7 has won a huge fan base with its reasonable dimensions, tapered spoon tip, high rocker tail, underfoot camber, centered sidecut, wood core and traditional sidewalls. Jargon aside, it’s been my only powder ski for three consecutive seasons, and continues to win me over every single time.
