Rossignol 2014 ski reviews
There's no doubt that the Unique 6 from Rossignol is highly accessible. It loses some points for its lack of grip though, which meant it just missed out on "the reviewers' recommendation." However, it remains a good friend for beginners and experienced skiers looking for ease-of-use above all else.

Rossignol Scratch Open review 2014
Men's skis 2014 > Versatile freestyle Best ski 2014
The Scratch already caught our attention last year, and it remains a reference in this category which requires a high level of performance both in the park and on piste. An excellent choice for average to confirmed freestylers looking for a tool that's both playful and efficient.
The Rossignol Radical 9SL is a "no-nonsense", high-performance ski whose distinctive feature is its considerable rigidity, which provides good grip and stability in turns, but puts it at a disadvantage in terms of accessibility. Excellent for good to expert skiers looking for a ski they can count on when carving short-radius turns.
Like the Dynastar, the Rossignol 9 GS that was tested didn't come along just for the ride. Designed as a Giant Slalom specialist, it is remarkably effective in this area, although less versatile than other contenders in its category. It is a good choice for very good, physically fit skiers who are into carving long-radius turns at "full throttle".
Pursuit 14 from Rossignol is a user-friendly and docile ski facile, ideal for learning to carve out turns, and is suitable for levels ranging from false beginners to intermediate riders.
The Rossignol is a docile ski that does what you ask of it, but no more! Globally efficient but not particularly playful, it's a ski for intermediate riders who want a model that gives them confidence and is designed for serious practice.
The Rossignol Pursuit 18 Ti is an excellent ski for carving at moderate speeds (or for novice carvers). Unfortunately, it is geared too much towards this type of usage and is not versatile enough to be listed in the Advanced category. Suitable for intermediate to good skiers who enjoy carving - but nothing too extreme.
Given its shape and its background, the Experience is obviously an on-piste ski... and remains an on-piste ski. Although it ranks less well in this category, where it is competing with more versatile models, it is still a good ski for those looking for an on-piste ski that has a great feel underfoot in carving manoeuvres, and can handle the occasional incursion off the groomed slopes.
Like its younger sibling, the piste ancestry of the Experience 88 is obvious as soon as you lay eyes on the ski's distinctive shape. It's hardly surprising that this is, above all, a ski for the groomers.
This ski is for intermediate to experienced skiers who want to enjoy carving the groomers but also want to get off the beaten track from time to time.
