The comments below are in reverse chronological order. Current year's notes will be first followed by thoughts from prior years. As the 2000-2001 season has not yet begun, the latest entry is from the 1999 season. I was able to pick up one of next year's Volant Ti Powers from the factory in a 188 cm length. It's by far the best ski I've ever used - and the tuning's not even been moderately tweaked yet.
Bumps are perfection, crud is a blast, the trees are easy.
I can't find anything wrong with the ski. Supposedly this metal gives the skier no feedback in terms of returning energy, but that's not the case as far as I can tell. The ski is stiffer than past models and at least for me is as good as it gets. These three not only ski the deep but also perform anywhere from great to moderately great on packed snow as well. Now have three shaped Rossi's.
