Tomasz Macieik owns this product
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... Read more

Originally posted at www.rossignol.com on Nov 11, 2024
New favorite ski ever ! 5'9" 200-210lbs. This is my new favorite ski, replacing the Nordica Helldorado. An absolute mountain killer ! If you can stay on them , they will go through it. Great for untracked snow and then when it gets tracked and many skis get bucked around these have the heft to keep going. Point 'em downhill and hold on till the bell rings.

Amazing Ski

Originally posted at www.rossignol.com on Feb 6, 2023
I got these from a Level 1 film tour raffel. Rossignol was kind enough to swap them out for a ski in my size. Shout out to the Rossi Reps. I've been riding on the Black ops 118s with Marker squire bindings. So far I am in love with these skis. So much so that I haven't even ridden on my 2022 Bentchelters this year. The best features of this ski are the fact it can ride on anything. I ride a lot of backcountry and park. Finding a ski that is flexible yet still stiff enough that it doesn't chatter is not very easy. I have been really putting these skis to the test and the performance is unbelievable. With that being said a ski that has unbelievable performance and a sweet top sheet deserves 5 stars. Thanks again for the opportunity to ski on the Black Ops Rossignol.

Erik was great!
5 /5
Erik was very helpful in assisting me to pick out my first pair of skis and ski bindings! I am an intermediate-level skier but have always used rental skis, so when looking to buy my own, I didn't have much of a knowledge-base. Erik was very helpful in answering my questions and with narrowing down which skis would be a good fit for me, taking into consideration my height/weight, skill level, skiing strengths and weaknesses, and price range. Thank you very much, Erik!

This was my first time buying snow sport gear of any kind. Tyler used the information I gave him to give me some really great choices and get me all set up with a board, bindings, and a helmet. He was very responsive to my questions and had recommendations for sizes and settings that I would not have been able to figure out on my own. He was great!

5 /5
Tyler made great recommendations and really took the time to understand where my skill level is at and where I intend to ski. Ultimately, I was uncomfortable making the investment without trying the skis first, so I ended up buying a pair that I had rented several times and really liked. I had so many questions and came very close to purchasing skis a few months ago but now I that I have nearly finished this season I have a better idea of what I was looking for!

Nico helped me decide what length Atomic Mavens to get and bindings. He helped me decide that these skis will work on East Coast ice and Jackson Hole powder. I wish Curated was sticking around because it's such a great service. My cousin bought skis bindings and boots last year with curated and is stoked.

5 /5
Tyler helped to reassure me on the board I have been eying, while also suggesting the best options for boots and bindings; he never tried to push the most expensive option, but rather gave me a number of choices to consider for myself (and in fact, recommended a cheaper boot option than the one I went with!). He was a great help and I feel confident that he helped me make a solid purchase.

Additional Board
5 /5
I was looking at updating my board and was just looking around. After a quick chat with John to narrow down which board to pick, he made it easier than going into a store. He helped out with an additional discount that no other website could beat. Too hard to pass up a great deal, I bought the board and bindings. Cheers to debuting it before the season ends!

She knew exactly what I was looking for...
5 /5
I already knew what skis I was trying to find, based on the conditions I wanted to ski and also based on my skill level. Not only did she recommend the exact skis that I had been looking for, but she also recommended a better set of bindings than the ones I had previously thought were a good fit. I love that she's a neighbor over in VT while I'm in NH, so she knows East Coast (Ice Coast) skiing like I do. I'm so excited for the deal I just landed on brand new 2025 skis, and I have Shannon to thank for helping me narrow down the perfect fit. I'm just so sad to hear this amazing company is closing its doors, but while the deals are good and before they go, I will be recommending them to everyone I know! Thanks again, Shannon! Happy skiing!

Noah helped me tremendously. I kind of knew what I wanted but by asking the right questions, he helped point me in the best direction for my changing skill level and age and kind of terrain I'd be skiing more since moving to a different state. He took everything into account. He gave me choices for each item I wanted---skis, bindings, poles---and put together a perfect curation! I'm super stoked to be able to take advantage of the discounts of course, but I never would've been able to do that or even find such great equipment without Noah's help!
