Re: Rossi BC skis- why all the negativity?
Again they are an "OK" ski....My problem is that they are an ok ski that's slow....lso they go into a dip and the tips dig in....just like the old outtabounds.....e99's and 109's rise up and by doing this they are full of energy....A beautiful thing....So in my OPINION they are ok but fishers are be...

Re: Please help newbie decide on skis??
E99's are wonderful skis...Wax makes for a faster ski and to turn a longer 99 you NEED speed...99's are the best selling ski of all time....Scored my Europa's back in the early 80's????? Kicked the snot out of all cross country skis up to that time....BC....CC....Need to score some Asnes to see how ...
