Rossignol: S7 Barras Skis (Twin Tips)

A lot of big-pop, reverse-camber skis float on deep snow, but chatter wildly on hardpack or frozen groomers. The Rossignol S7 Barras does a reversal on reverse-camber skis and takes you everywhere with more stability. The S7 Barras features Rossignol's new Amptek technology. Fancy marketing terms aside, Amptek is a camber shape on the S7 ski that uses a reverse camber at the tip and tail, but keeps the traditional camber in the area beneath the binding. What this means is that the elevated S7 Barras tip shape gives you great floatation, excellent pop, enhanced landing potential and buttery turns, but the area beneath your feet stays rock-solid for increased edge pressure on hardpack, better edge grip, improved control for fast turn transitions--and you do all of it with less effort. The S7 Barras also features Rossignol's Weight Reduction System (WRS), a patented core design that groups strands of fiber along the core and sidewalls so that everything is aligned with the ski's sidecut shape. This allows for more structural integrity beneath your feet and less density along the tip and tail, giving the ski exceptional snap and lively maneuverability. If you're looking for a binding pairing with this remarkable backcountry twin-tip, Rossignol recommends their Freeski2 150 Ti XXL and Freeski2 140 Ti XXL bindings.
