 Poster: A snowHead
|
Can anyone help me with respects Rossignol Vipers and Rossignol Cobras?
What season are they from?
Any reviews?
What are they worth new today?
I can buy some for what I consider to be cheap and want to check first.
Thanks in advance

50p?
Actually I'm sure some people will know in more detail but got a feeling the name was chucked on a whole load of sub-bandit level skis for a number of years. In general the more badass the name, the worse the ski actually is.
I of course ski on "Total MF Armageddons"

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

Seriously too difficult to call - the ones listed above are from a vendor living on fantasy island. Too many years and the same names applied to too many skis.

Winter Shack are selling some new Cobras on eBay for £139, their prices are usually pretty keen.

Freeze-Thawts, the pics fatbob links to are of a straight ski, from about 14 years ago. The T-Power (which that isn't) Vipers were -the- instructor ski back in 2001, enough to revive the Viper and Cobra names sufficiently to be applied to models that were steadily downmarket after that.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I've got a nice sweatshirt with a great big Rossignol Viper motif on the back.
It is well worn, but worth a lot more than a pair of those skis!
