Poster: A snowHead
|
What are your thoughts on the Rossignol Elite Hero LT skis please? I’ve got 60 years of skiing experience however more recently on softer all mountain Soul 7’s which I love in soft snow and late season slush. However I’m planning on skiing in colder harder conditions and want a ski that’s stable and grips well without as much effort as a GS racing ski. Is the Elite Hero 2020 year a good 2nd hand option please? Thanks. (It has to be Rossignol )

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

@Lesnarcisses, I rented a pair a few years ago and swapped them after a day. Floppy and no grip.
If it has to be Rossi's you're limited these days as their range has gone down the drain

I know several good and experienced skiers (all live in the Alps) and they ski on these on the piste and they are very positive about them. They can be had for a very fair price, even new, and are predominantly red, so are quite fast. You could also look at the Masters series, which I think are a little bit more ski and also more cost.

I agree with what @SaraJ, says. Solid but not much fun. I also thought that they were more turny than I was expecting from a 22m radius ski..... That said, I don't find skis over 18m or under 12m much fun for everyday skiing on piste.

@Lesnarcisses, I skied on a set (without the R22 plate) a couple of years back and found them a bit dull. I had just got of my 157 Hero SLs though. I think if you are fixed on Rossi and the LT then just by a set and see how you get on. It may be a softer ski with a shorter radius (15m ?) may give you the grip you want without so much effort.
