Rossignol S3 - 2013

The smaller brother of the S7, the S3 uses many of the same features. It’s one of the new wave of surf-style skis, with a fully rockered tip andtail, and ‘spoon’-shaped tip which helps lift and steering in deep snow. It has a typical surfy feel, is easy to pivot, and generally no effort to adjust direction in any conditions. Although the width is similar to many skis in this category, it feels quite narrow underfoot. But that spoon tip does make itself felt, and helps steer into the new direction. A great-value, playful ski that would work well in any conditions.
