The Curated Take

By the Expert Community

The Rossignol Blackops 118 might be the best powder ski on the market for resort powder days. Anyone who has skied at a busy resort on a powder day knows you only get 1-2 runs of untracked fresh powder before it's all cut up. The beauty of these skis is they are very heavy and damp, allowing them to just blow through those pockets of choppy snow an hour into your powder day. I fell in love with them when I picked up too much speed going into some choppy snow, and they just stayed totally composed.

Normally, a ski this heavy would be hard to maneuver, but since they have a more center mount, their swing weight feels totally manageable and gives them a more playful, almost park-inspired energy to them. The Blackops also have a surprising amount of camber underfoot, which means they handle better than most skis this wide on firmer terrain, and that means that even when you need to take a groomed run back to the lift or more powder, you can still lay down some great carves. The camber also gives it a little more pop-off jumps.

This ski is perfect for anyone tired of getting bumped around in chopped-up snow after the initial powder day rush. It is also fantastic for some powder day jibbing around the mountain due to its symmetrical shape and close-to-center mount.

Ideal for
  • Resort powder days
  • Playful in powder
  • Very stable in choppy snow
Not ideal for
  • Very heavy
  • Mount point is close to center

The Rossignol Blackops 118 Skis are the ultimate tool for progressive freeride performance. With a solid construction and playful design, these skis are perfect for floating and smearing through even the deepest powder. The lively wood core provides the power needed to get creative on any terrain, while race-developed construction ensures stability and control in all conditions.

Key Features:

  • Progressive Freeride Performance: The Blackops 118 is designed to excel in all freeride conditions, from deep powder to steep chutes.
  • Solid Construction: These skis are built to last with race-developed construction that provides stability and control when it counts.
  • Playful Design: The lively wood core gives these skis a playful feel that encourages creativity on any terrain.
  • Wide Width: With a wide width, these skis provide ample floatation in deep snow while still maintaining stability on hardpack.
  • Versatile Performance: Whether you're hitting big jumps or carving up groomers, the Blackops 118 can handle it all with ease.

Cooper phenomenal
5 /5
I am a newbie when it comes to snowboarding, so I didn't want to make an uninformed purchase. That's when I found curated and was linked with Mr. Cooper who has helped me pick my first setup. He gave me recommendations based on his experience. If something doesn't match your style just let him know and he will work his magic to fund you something closer to your desire.

I had an absolutely amazing experience with Edward! Going in to buying skis I had no idea what to look for and super anxious about finding the perfect skis. He gave me great recommendations and guided me every step of the way. Super attentive and overall a great resource! If you are paired with Edward you’re in great hands! I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Thank you, Edward for everything! You truly made the experience amazing for me from offering recommendations, answering questions, and supporting me throughout the process! You’re the best!!!

This guy will answer as many questions as you can throw his way- even if you ask the same question 5 different ways. NEVER felt like he got annoyed with me. Super knowledgeable and if he didn't know the exact right answer he said he'd find out and did quickly. I don't expect anyone to know everything, and I respect when someone can admit it and know where to find it. I'm still asking him questions even after my purchase lolHighly Recommended!!! Thanks Brenden.

Josh helped me figure out exactly what it is that I needed. Ive been a skateboarder for 20+ years and he has helped me transition to snowboarding by guiding me into the direction that most fits a person with heavy skateboarding background. He explained the gear and everything. He listened to my story and helped me define a setup from just that information.

I am truly grateful for the time Daniela spent taking care of my many questions as I decided on equipment for skiing. There are so many measurements to deal with (Daniela mentioned ones I didn’t even know I needed to know) it was frustrating. She held my hand, and I’m confident I have something for my skill level. There are settings I know I will need some pro help on like DIN settings. I’m looking forward to hitting the slopes with my new gear. Thanks Daniela!

Jarom was responsive and understanding. He made sure he understood what I was looking for, and helped explain what he thought would be a good fit. When I approached him with another Ski, he was quick to assure me that it was a good ski, but also why he thought the one he chose would be a better fit. I really couldn’t have asked for a better experience

Dave was FANTASTIC!
5 /5
I was in the market for a new snowboard and bindings for the 2024 season. I have had the same set up for about 10 years now and was ready to invest in a solid set up. I filled out the Curated questionnaire and was lucky to land Dave as my Curated expert. I chatted it up with Dave on what I like to do on the mountains and within 20 min I received his recommended line up of boards and bindings. Dave took the time to provide a detailed description for each board/bindings along with a personalize video as well which was so cool! Literally feel like I’m friends with the guy now, ha! I ended up going with the T. Rice Pro with the Union Falcor bindings. PUMPED for the 2024 season to rip it on my new setup! Dave is the man 🤙🏼
