Opinions of Rossi Brigade BC's?

I'm thinkin about getting a pair of these cuz the specs are just what I'm looking for, which is basically just at least 90mm under foot. I found a sick deal on line, but don't know much about the ski. Any opinions? Preferably people who've skied them, but others will definitely help out. If you think they're shitty, any suggestions?

thanks.

i demoed the s5, which is the same as the brigade, and it was one of th best skis i have ever riden. it is perfect for everything,from park to pow. they were mounted as far back as they can and i was still skiing switch in a couple inches of powder with no problem. that is the fattest ski i have skied and the width is real nice. if i had the money i would have gotten a pair. i would say go for them

I rode them all last year, great overall ski, but a bit soft for straightling steep cruddy terrain, ski's great switch and in the pow, and are very slow on flat outs.

ive skied this ski for 2 seasons now and its such a great ski. stiff enough to kill it all mountain and still soft enough to do crazy butters.

Order a pair. I ordered the 185's a month ago. They were stiffer then I expected but they wern't to stiff and the graphics are sick.

i really liked skiing on the brigades. its a really verastile and fun ski. i must say i like my older BCs, theyre a little stiffer so handle nicely all mountain.

Great ski...same as the yellow BCs from the year before, right?  I wrote a review on those...I have them and I love them soooo much!

yeah i have the yellow ones, and they slay everything. i have them in 178 mounted between traditional and modern (shop mistake, i wanted them plus 2 from modern, but they still rock) good in pow, park, treees, pretty good in steeps. great 1 ski quiver type. id jump on them for sure.
