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.

I started with spencer in mid to early january and told him that i wouldnt be able to make an actual purchase until mid february. He constantly gave me updates on item availability and continuously found me new items through the entire month that catered to my preferences as i gave them to him. He might just be the best customer service ive ever experienced to date with anything.

I was in the process of picking out some ski equipment and I got matched with Gary. He was amazing answered every question I had and gave me his opinion on if I was looking into something that was not going to be right for me. He was beyond knowledgeable and it felt like I could come to him with anything. Even when I took a few days to do some more research and make sure I wanted to buy the things that were in my cart he would check in often to make sure I had now other questions. Absolutely top tier easily the best customer service I have ever had when making a big purchase like this.

5 /5
Ethan was responsive and very helpful in getting me started with some gear. Having some very limited knowledge in skiing, Ethan was able to provide some great suggestions on narrowing down equipment given my budget and preferred style. He helped me save a ton of time, rather than doing hours of research trying to guess on what would suit me best. With his knowledge I have confidence that I was able to make a smart purchase that I will not regret.
