Description of Rossignol S5 Barras Alpine Ski: |
|
When big-mountain freestyle phenomenon Kye Petersen wants to throw down all over town, he reaches for the Rossignol S5 with the custom topsheet by Will Barras. This ski packs a full clip, with a centered stance and twin tips for huge park airs, and a 98mm waist, full wood core, and progressive sidecut for unleashing hell on the rest of the mountain. “Only 98 in the waist” you scoff, “and no 190-plus length?” Ok, Bro-Magnon, so the S5 isn’t the biggest, fattest, burliest ski ever created, and it isn’t made for moon landings or thermonuclear warfare…but that’s exactly the point. Because whether you leave gapers gaping at Squallywood or thread silent trees solo at Jay Peak, the S5 Barras has the variable-condition versatility to rip it up, send it, and stomp it switch from Cali to Maine. Better keep an eye over your shoulder.
Bottom Line: Rossignol’s bi-coastal ace in the hole.

| I picked up these babies off of tramdock.com before the start of the season. I bought the 185cm length because i am 6'3" and 190 pounds. I love these things. I mainly ski bumps and trees because I live in Vermont, so i wanted a do it all ski. These skis are light and snappy for their size, but they're burly enough to blast through cruddy snow or chunky stuff and they won't chatter at higher speeds on groomers. For bumps, they are forgiving, light, and snappy enough to handle any bump line. I didn't want a ski with any metal laminate layers to make them stiff and heavy like Head Monsters..The S5's are fat to give good float in the pow. I took them out west to CO for four days and they handle steeps and trees nicely. Do it all ski, and perfect for the east. My only complaint is they're not great on frozen hardpack. it's a little harder to carve an edge with the 98mm waist, but these skis aren't designed for that type of snow anyway. Great for trees, bumps, jumps, crud, and stomping the mountain. I'm going to buy a second pair i like them so much. |

| I picked up a pair of these off Tramdock for three bills and they are the best skis I've had.
I have the 185s and absolutely love them. I'm 6'3" 210 and these fit perfectly.
I ski patrol so I've been able to test these out on all terrain conditions.
FRESH powder: These skis give phenomenal float and carving ability while still letting you splash your face. No need to pull back, your tips automatically find their way to the surface.
Groomers: Skis have enough stiffness to allow you to really dig in without the chatter of most softer twins.
Park: Skis are huge! but still light enough whether you're spinning or hucking yourself back off a cornice.
I mounted a pair of Dynastar PX12 on these in a neutral position and they've been working great. and the price can't be beat |

| My New All-around Ski 02-02-10 |

| I'm 6'4, 185, and i just bought the 185s last week to use as my everyday ski at Snowbird. I've been using them the last 2 days to rip groomers, jump in the trees and hit some small drops - zero complaints. This won't be my powder ski, but for everyday/spring-ish riding these have been amazing. Quick to initiate turns, but sturdy enough to handle the crud. Definitely recommend them. |
