Rossignol Temptation 82 (2013)
Tester's Review
Though it preferred groomers, testers felt comfortable taking the 82 off-trail. Its tip rocker smoothed out bouncy bumps and floated through spacious glades. On-piste, "this Rossi did not waver," said one tester. It's responsive and quick and makes a variety of turn shapes. An experienced skier can navigate it anywhere on the mountain in all but the deepest snow. For intermediates, it's the perfect learn-to-carve tool.
PRICE (MSRP): $600.00
