All Things Rossignol

[Wolfski]

Quite the collection of virgins Joal
I have/had all of those with the exception of those purple 3G's but they've all been violated
Were those 3G's a make up ski? I remember the white 3G's, and still have them

Cannot remember exact season the pea green alternate cosmetic was available but we did have it to sell. Also the order form for 1992-1993 offered the ski in black and an alternate teal green but I know we only had the black one. My best SWAG makes me think pea green was offered 1990-1991 (the year the 7S appeared), teal had been around for 4 years, and by 1991-1992 everyone was ready for a change so we went black for the next 2 years.

1995-1996 the 4S disappeared making way for the 5S (could really use a good photo of the 4Sv). And yes, the 4Sk with telemark bindings are mine, skied them for several years until I retired from dropping the knee.

Don't have picture of 4sv, but here are my old 5sv's. 205's with Marker select control bindings. 1995?

A couple of spares for the road

Remember when there was a push to integrate the Ski, Boot and Bindings? No not with Alpine, back in the XC skating revolution.
Let's say there might have been a hand made prototype or two for Rossignol's answer to the Salomon setup
Here might be a picture of one

Bought those at 13:30 this afternoon for $15.00 Cdn
Used a file on the edges ...
Checked the bindings ...
16:30 , I was skiing on them and quite fast ...
205 cm or about ... could it be 204 ?
I was cautious at first but they deliver a very smooth ride on groomed slopes .
I don't regret my investment !!!!

It was a very fine GS ski, it should run smooth if there is life left in the ski. How is the camber of the skis? The size should be on the sidewall of the ski near the center.

i know where the lenght should be printed but there is nothing ... I checked the Rossignol against some skis in my quiver .
There is still some camber left but , for its age , less than the Fisher or the Spalding ... Rossignol ... I never owned a pair because they do not last : after a season there was no camber left ! Camber-Wise , the longest lasting I had were my White Star and my RC4 . The PRE 1200 were not very good but there were powder skis ( at least for me ) , same with the Olin MARK III S . I would very much like to find a pair of each one of these days ,,, 205 or 210 ...

Who remembers getting their Rossi's with this sticker on them?

 

[Lowell Watson]

Here is a great find. I got the MPI undrilled and the Nevada reds on some old junk. I hotrodded the Nevada’s with posts and brakes from some 77’s and voila...no more straps. These will be going out Tuesday.

And the POP sticker which was carefully removed and slapped up on the the tool chest.

 

[LeVieuxCrouton]

Got them yesterday and they are now ready to hit the slopes ...
Were used only during the training runs at the World Cup in Bromont , Canada , in 1986 .
210 cm ... or is it 213 ?
I can't find the length on the skis but it looks 210 compared with other 210 around . Strange that a length is not similar from one manufacturer to the other !

Voilà !
If it is warmer than the -40 we have now , I will ski them tomorrow !
Got three more to show you ... other brands , same state of preservation , all skiable at full speed ...
