Long time lurker, first time poster looking for some advice - what’s the current equivalent to the original Rossi S7?
I picked up a pair for my wife years ago and she loves the friggin’ things. Until last year, she used them in all conditions – last season, I finally convinced her to get something narrower for firmer conditions (Dynastar Legend W96).
But the S7’s are now pretty beat so I’m looking to replace them. What current ski has the same ease of use in powder that is still forgiving/manageable on hardpack? 110mm-ish width.
My wife is a solid skier, 40-50 days/year, all at Fernie. But she’s definitely not a charger. Also, we’re headed to Japan this season, so this would be the ski we’re taking there.
She tried a 2016 Star 7 last year – it was OK but she didn’t love it. I think she missed the “auto-pilot” ease of use of the S7.
My current thought is the DPS Wailer/Yvette 112 – likely in the Foundation build – as they sound like they have a high ease of use factor. Anything else I should be considering?
