Description of Rossignol Scratch Girl BC Alpine Ski - Women's:
At home in the pipe or the pow, the Rossignol Scratch Girl BC is a stylie ski built with female freeskiers in mind. But make no mistake, this ski can hang with the boys. The Scratch Girl BC boasts all the features of the legendary Scratch line, including Rossignol’s patented Weight Reduction System, lively and stable wood core, durable Rossitop cap construction, and a dynamic flex that progresses from stiff underfoot to soft at the tips and tails for a poppy, forgiving feel. But the Scratch Girl BC is designed with the female anatomy in mind and Rossignol’s F.I.T (Feminine Intuitive Technology) adjusts for a woman’s lower center of gravity and unique stance. The ski’s fat waist floats in the fluff, and its lightweight make airs a breeze.
Bottom Line: Whether pushing it in the park or playing in the pow, the Rossignol Scratch Girl BC let’s ripper chicks show the boys what true style’s all about.
Demoed a pair of 160cm. on a nice spring afternoon mostly on groomers, while teaching a friend. I would consider myself at an intermediate level and I am 5'3", 120lbs. They performed very nicely on the groomers. Quick, light turns but had a bit to be desired for a couple of tree powder runs I did by myself. The length was also perfect for me.

i've been in love before, but never like this 03-25-09
these skis are really something. they're quick and easy to turn, and float in the deep like nobody's business. i found they handled the crud pretty well too and are still really responsive on the groomers. great for a touring set-up because they're so light. what can i say - i'm in love!
A very light ski that is good for the park. The ski is very light and is fun to whip around on perfectly groomed trails, although beware of variable conditions due to the lightness of the ski. You can fly down the groomers and carve but if you hit a patch of thicker snow be careful and stay centered, these skis are not very forgiving. The Scratch BC's can ski through powder but the turn-ability is not that great and I wish I had something thicker and heavier. If you are looking to stick to the park all day, these are the skis for you.
