at friend Summary:
the xxx is the best alpine ski i've ever used, it may be a little soft and snappy for big mtn, but at the area its untouchable, it hammers crud, is a rock solid wide and glider and most amazingly can rip a zipper line. don't get me wrong, it's not a bump ski and demands a little extra attention but it works, esp in big steep bumps.
i do kinda miss my volkl zebras on a powder day, someting cool about going deeeeep..... Similar Products Used:

at als sporting goods Summary:
I actualy have the 2003 model. Holy S----! I skied the XX 185 all day one day and was amazed. I skied hard all day long and wasn't as tired as I normally was, that's because you don't have to work as hard with this ski. I have recently purchased some XXX 185 that I demoed for one run (got booted of the mountain for off trail riding!) and I'm feeling light headed just dreaming about the first run with my new babiees! what are you waiting for. join the XXX bandit revolution!

at Utah Ski and Golf Summary:
This is the most incredible ski I've ever ridden. I bought it thinking I'd use it just for powder (90 mm waist!) but now I use it for everything. For a wide ski it's very manuverable and responsive. Powder, crud, chutes, trees, moguls, slush... it blasts through it all with ease. It's torsionally stiff, but soft enough laterally to ski moguls well (to my utter shock). I feel like I can ski anything on these bad boys. First time I can really say that my equipment improved my skiing. If you're skiing soft western snow (Utah, Colorado, etc.) you NEED these skis. Customer Service:
Rossignol's CS is great. Their sidewall technology is touchy - I cracked a wall on my Vipers. They fixed it for free 2 years after purchase. I had a binding recall and they replaced my bindings with no hassle. What a great company. Similar Products Used:
Rossignol Bandit X, Rossignol Mtn. Viper X, Olin Sierra, Dynastar Course Series

I purchased these skis as powder skis, and to compliment my longer (191) Bandit XX from 99/00. When looking around, I knew I wanted a shorter ski than my XXs since they were quite a bit of ski in tight places, so I was thinking the 185s would be the ticket. After a lot of soul searching, I went with the 178 XXX instead (I am 5'9" 185lbs). All I can say is WOW. Skiing on a great pow day here in the NW has taken on new meaning. They motor through boot deep crud like nothing, and can whip through the trees with precision I have never known. I was pretty worried that they would be too short, but after skiing 4 days on them (3 pow/1 packed) I know I made the right choice. I can turn them in the crud/moguls with ease, navigate the steep trees no prob, and still ski the groomed without giving up much speed.
These are awesome skis, demo them and find the right size for you, but don't be too skeptical - try the shorter sizes out. Similar Products Used:
