Gary,
Did you say they were yellow?
Glad you got on them and sure hope you get some 3D so they get the full monte review.
In Tahoe this year, for sure, I'll get on a pair.
The devil in me found your initial review from last year of the Rossi S3:
The Rossi S3 hit the spot.
The first thing I noticed right away was how easy it was to drift. Dropping into lines that were narly, drift away. Anywhere I elected, they just were so easy to do so. Carve indeed, high angle no problem, speed no problem or no limit I've found so far. Bumps, even though the RS testers didn't give it any acknowledgement for bumps, I've been skiing bumps the past 2 days and they are a blast especially in the soft bumps. Stability...I was near the bottom of a ungroomed run with broken snow and bumps. I pointed the skis downhill, centered myself, made sure they were flat on the snow and just ripped away. They were unphased by all the varied terrain they were eating up....rocker steady so to speak.
For a ski with a 20m turning radius, they can be finessed around very quickly. If you've got good feet, the serve you well. I even hit some skied off end of day today and just drifted through it and hooked the edges up right after. With a 1 base and 1 sidebevel, I was astonished how well they held edge.I am curious as to your thoughts on the differences between the two skis. They sound similar in the snow you skied this week, which should not show off the strengths of both skis.
