Description of Rossignol S4 Squindo Alpine Ski: |
|
If you pause the Winter-X Superpipe comp, get really close to the screen, and examine the skis under Andreas Hatveit’s and JF Houle’s feet, you might spot the Rossignol S4 Squindo. Yes, the very same one you’re looking at now. The S4 is Rossi’s 2009 pro park & pipe pistol, continuing the legacy of the medal-snatching Scratch Ghetto with super-poppy flex, razor edge hold, and a sick new topsheet designed by Pennsylvania coal-country artist Squindo. Construction remains basically unchanged, with a poppy THC wood core, tough 30-degree slanted sidewall, and viscoelastic shock plates in the tip and tail. Rossignol’s “rocking chair” flex profile is springy in the tip and tail and firm underfoot, so you can ollie the S4 Squindo easily onto rails and boxes without losing big-amplitude boost in the pipe.
Bottom Line: Don’t hit the pipe without it.

| Great ski! I use it as an all-mt cruiser, and have it mounted at the free-ride line (most rearward). One thing to mention - this mounting point is about 2cm forward of last years mark on Ghetto, so keep that in mind if you liked the mounting point on the Ghetto. I didn't realize it until my first day out, and was a mess for a couple runs, but have it figured out now. These skis have good pop, and great edge grip if you actually tune them. I ski the 181's, and they hold well on all but the iciest conditions. Not the widest skis out there, but fine for the boiler-plate hardpack I ski in MN. Not much powder here... I have Scratch Brigades for the trips out west.
I think these might be a fun ski to mount for tele too, as they have a nice flex to them - not too stiff, so I think they'd be about right for a good med/long turner once you throw some HH's or BD02's on them. I wish they were made in a 185 length though.
This is a great "go-to" ski for most conditions. |

| This ski is a good ski don't get me wrong, but Rossi messed up this year......... I know someone who has these brand new and blew out a chunck in the side wall in about a month not even. He had the Rossignol Scratch Bling (2008) ski and they look in better shape than his 3 week old S4's. So having that said Rossignol changed the side wall material but kept the rest of the ski the same as the Scratch Ghetto WRS (2008), but changed the side wall material so basically the side wall chips easier. Also for the free system that's worthless. Where you can move the binding, for park to powder positions is useless. The toe piece slides but you have to drill holes in the ski for the heel piece and if you drill a set of holes in a ski 3 to 4 times a ski shop wont touch the ski, plus it weakens the ski. Hope my review helped, what im basically trying to say is the Ski is the same as last years ghetto but the side wall construction is different making it chip easier, your choice to buy it, your money to! |
