Which is overall a better ski for an intermediate skiier (guy)? Like trees, piste, don't do parks.

I would say Rossi if I was making this decision blind, but how heavy, tall, and aggressive are you? Where do you ski (east, pnw, mw?)

If you're squeezed on the budget, go Rossi. If not, go with S3s, or ARVs or something a little bigger and stiffer. You will thank me in the long run of things if you do.

Budget is definitely an issue. Would you suggest Volkl RTM's over the Rossi's?
