 Poster: A snowHead
|
On my recent trip I demo'd some skis. I loved them and took a photo to remember the model. However, I've lost my phone.
I'm very Confused with the many varients of the rossignol hero ski.
They where 186 long I think and I'm pretty sure the radius was 18 meters. Are all hero skis pretty much the same?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Thanks. From what I can find they where 2017/18 range. I found the catalogue but they all look the same. Red and white. The guy even put special stickers on the tips as he said people accidentally swap there skis by accident as they all look similar

If they were Hero skis with a ~18m radius and 186 long then I'd guess they were Hero Elite LT. At 176 length they have a 19m radius/at 183 a 20m radius.
Main visual difference between ST/AT/LT is the colour of those letters on the backs of the skis. Blue for LT, blue and green for AT, green for ST.

Cheers guys. They where definitely 180± because I asked for 190's and he said the 186 was the biggest he had. I most likely got the radius wrong. The word elite definitely sound familiar.
Thanks again for the help

I'd be pretty confident that Rossi is applying the Hero name as a halo to all manner of rental fodder and Special make ups.
Why not ring the shop and ask?

Because my French is very poor. I have sent a translated email though. Waiting for response

@dave_3, which shop?

It was the shop attached to the alpina eclectic hotel. The chap was very friendly but translation made it difficult to tell him what and why I wanted to try some different ski's. I'm actually returning in March so I'll pop in and have a word

@dave_3, somewhat amazed they didn’t speak English...
You mean Ravanel on Place Mont Blanc? Happy to wander in next time I go past and have a look.

I'm not sure to the name as it looked liked it was part of the hotel alpina itself. If your passing I would be very grateful but the skis are not very accessible as the have them in some weird sliding cabinets.
