Rossignol Pursuit 100 skis with Xpress bindings are an awesome system that allows the skier to learn and progress in a comfortable and confident manner. The skis have a great shape, profile, and construction to them that makes progression fun and simple. With a 126 mm tip width and almost zero taper, the skis want to be on edge. You’ll love how when you tip them on edge, they hook right up and bring you into the turn. The 74 mm waist is perfect for holding an edge, even on the iciest of conditions. At 111 mm in the tail, you’ll feel like you’re getting propelled out of the turn with some energy. In terms of profile, the skis have slight tip rocker, and this allows the skier to engage and initiate the turn with relative ease and fluidity. Camber underfoot and into the tail increase edge grip and control even on firm surfaces. For an advancing beginner to intermediate skier, the Poplar wood core is a great material for construction. Rossignol does a bit better by adding a fiberglass layer that stiffens and dampens the ski, thus increasing the ability level of the product. Additionally, they’ve done a great job in making the ski light weight yet still torsionally stiff enough to help skiers progress to the next level. The cap construction is quick and durable, and skiers of many different levels will love the edge to edge quickness that the skis provide. For beginners and advancing intermediates, the Rossignol Pursuit 100 will be a fantastic setup.
