Rossignol Blackops Pro

This ski is designed for intermediate riders. While it is approachable, it features a full sidewall construction that requires a bit more technique to engage than a softer, beginner-specific ski. It is best suited for a young skier who is already comfortable linking turns and is ready to start exploring more varied terrain.

The poplar wood core is chosen specifically for its lightweight, energetic feel. It keeps the ski easy to maneuver and quick edge-to-edge, which helps reduce leg fatigue during long days on the mountain without sacrificing the stability needed for higher speeds.

Thanks to the rectangular full sidewall construction, these skis offer reliable edge grip on firmer, icy snow. While they aren't dedicated race skis, the sidewall design provides enough bite to keep a young rider confident when conditions get hard-packed.

These are true all-mountain skis. The progressive rocker profile and 80mm waist width make them versatile enough to handle groomed runs, light off-piste exploration, and even laps through the park.

A 17-meter turn radius is quite versatile, sitting in the middle of the spectrum. It is long enough to provide stability when cruising at speed, but short enough to remain agile and playful when the skier wants to make tighter, more creative turns.
