Rossignol Temptation 88 (2012)
Tester's Review
The widest in Rossi's new Temptation line (the female counterpart of the Experience line), the 88 is beefier than the 82, with less rebound energy across the fall line. The benefit is a better score in chop and pow, though it still wasn't a standout in either. Testers preferred this ski on groomed, where its damp energy resonates. It requires more driving skills than the 82, too, so it's best for experts. "Take it to the groomers, and it's stable, quick and confident," said Meredith Sletten.
