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, 2024New 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, 2023I 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.

Leo is a legend!
5 /5
I really appreciated Leo’s honestly as most online reviews of the ski equipment I was looking for were far too positive, and really very few people willing to admit or call out truths about various options, however Leo was spot on and understood exactly what I was experiencing with my current skis which perhaps weren’t the best choice for where I ski. That said we had a huge downfall of snow today and my skis performed absolutely brilliantly, but with Leo’s help I decided to upgrade my skis anyway and also needed bindings for my new Atomic Maverick 88ti skis, following Leo’s advice I opted for the Marker Griffin 13 ID Bindings.

Parker was so helpful with sending me recommendations and even created a personalized video that explained why he was making the recommendations. I definitely didn’t expect such great service from an online ski salesperson! I’ve been looking for skis for months now and Parker helped me decide in one afternoon! I would highly recommend this service to anyone looking to purchase skis!

Zach pays attention to your needs!
5 /5
Zach was great at listening to my request and desires out of equipment. As a 1wk/yr skier. He coulg have just said yep here is your weight, ht. budget and here is your gear. Instead he really paid attention to the issues I have had with gear in the past. The desires I had out of my future gear. Look forward to maybe giving an additional review and feedback when I use this gear in a few weeks.

My first time making a snowboard purchase. Brenden’s on point he took the time to find out my skill level, and was where I was planning on going. How much I was willing to spend. He gave me a lot of recommendations broke them down to me and even gave me advice on where I should go around my area. If you need help he is the guy.
