Rossingnol s3

i have used them in the park but only on jumps(they wernt mine and they were some old dudes so i didnt want to fuck up his skis) but yeah they were dope on jumps they ski really short but i had never skied a rocker before so that was prolly why. id buy them if i saw them if that makes you feel better

What year are they?

i rode the 2010. they were fine in the park

I have the 2010's they have that little bit of tip rocker they look fun im just nerbous it will feel bulky on rails and stuff like that.

no they wont, notice how narrow the tips are. they are will be just fine.

Okay sweet i just cant wait to use them. i would k you higher but im maxed out

no problem man, anytime

I used them in Utah the day they got 4 foot in one day. Yes they hold up well in pow, they are good for that, real nice on groomers. Stiff as hell and kinda heavy though.

I wouldn't go far as to call them "stiff as hell." I actually found them to be a bit too floppy. For what it's worth, I am 6'2" and 185 lbs, and was on the 186cm length.

In their defense, they are a pretty fun ski for cruising around the mountain. I used them as my everyday ski for most of last season. Very playful, and good for messing around. I did find them to wash out occasionally. One of those skis that can do everything, but not do anything particularly well. I did end up selling my pair as they were too soft for my taste.

As far as weight is concerned, they are not a "heavy" ski by any means. Too many people are concerned about overall weight. The swing weight on the S3's just fine.

OP, sounds like you got a pretty solid deal on the skis. Enjoy them!

stoked how much did u use them in the park? thats my main concern that they wont be a very fun park ski due to their size and dimensions

I don't ski too much park. I prefer to ski powder when it is available, or try and seek out patches of decent snow.

With that said, I do like to mess around on jumps and natural features when the snow sucks. And I found the S3's to be extremely fun. I mounted mine at the +6 mark and would definitely move that forward if I were to get another set of S3's.

How tall/much do you weigh and what size are you going to be mounting? The width really won't be too noticeable, it may take you a few runs to get used to if you have only been riding park skis. After that, it won't affect your riding too much and will prove useful when fresh snow falls.

As far as the dimensions are concerned, for harder snow they are better suited to be mounted closer to center, and for softer snow farther back. With the relatively soft flex, to me personally, I found the tail would wash out occasionally. A more forward mount could compensate for this slightly.

Basically, you will have fun on this ski. It wasn't my personal ideal ski, but I definitely had some fun on my pair.

im 5 foot 9 and weigh 150 pounds im from the east so park is a major thing for me obviously. i want to mount in the most progressive position possible but iv never seen any mounting positions like this.

I have the 09 Pommier S3's and they're decent. I've abused the shit out of them and I only have one really really bad core shot which is right on my edge.

aight i hope this year's one is super durable too

ya hopefully. Oh and that core shot was from a rock btw.
