Strengths:
Tons of Sidecut and quick edge to edge initiation. Durable ski (I have used my pair for 7 seasons)
Lightweight
actually a good tele ski if you are a sicko like me and enjoy ripping large moguls in the spring
Retro topsheet graphic is a attention grabber (my mom has Rossi's from the 60's that look almost identical)
Weaknesses:
Way to narrow a waist and narrow tail
lose their snap within a season
The tips dive in the really deep pow unless you are leaning wayyyyy back
Summary:
For the price, a good durable ski that will satisfy mostly novice to intermediate tele skiers, and perform best on piste or in less than 15cm of pow off-piste . Clearly Rossignol summarized things by rather quickly discontinuing the model, though I still use mine in early season conditions (read rock skis).
Riding style: Piste
Length on the ski: 195 cm
Riders weight: 78 kg
Riders length: 170 cm
