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

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.

Not just a powder ski

I’ve never had a ski that could plow through chop and crud this well. It rips soft to moderate groomers too.

I came to Curated just to get some info and was really impressed with the service. I talked to a real person who had great recommendations and answered all my questions. I wasn't upsold on a bunch of stuff I didn't need... just given some options of gear I was looking for. I didn't intend to buy today, but Ian was so helpful it gave me the confidence to pull the trigger! Stoked to get my gear!

Vincent is amazing!!
5 /5
This was my first time purchasing my own snowboarding equipment; I naturally had hundreds of questions. I am also on a budget so it took me some time until I was able to purchase everything. He was very informative and patient. He explained the differences in his recommendations, not looking for a quick sell like others might have done. He took all my abilities and concerns into consideration before making a recommendation. Afterwards I still had questions about the particular snowboard and he walked me through everything.

Rob is very knowledgeable about a wide range of outdoor gear. He is often in touch with me and reads my mind and seems to know when I need something. I like the combination of online savings and Rob’s personal expertise. It’s like walking into a pro shop, but I’m hanging out in my living room (or in the case of this review, sitting on a plane.). Highly recommend!

From the getgo you can tell he's super knowledgeable in all the different board specs! The options he curated for me were great at a glance. I went and did more research here and around and still the best choice for me was exactly what he recommended! That is extra reassuring when it comes to large purchases like this and since all of these pieces will the first in my collection. Thank you so much Jason!

Awesome experience with Chris!
5 /5
Chris was fast to respond. Very knowledgeable and provided a couple of great options. He put together an amazing package for my intermediate teenage daughter who at times is quite a nervous skier. I feel very confident she will progress well with the chosen equipment and give her some extra confidence on the slopes. Congratulations to Curated for having such great technology and allowing me to view all the options easily and chat so effortlessly online. And all from

Schuyler is a solid dude, honest, and knowledgeable. I was dreading to buy all this equipment and clothes for our first trip in December. Schuyler made it easy and gave multiple options without request. Especially when it came to the kids even double checked my ordered to make sure everything jammed.
