Just to clear the confusion about whether rossignol skis will be branded differently with the acquistion by quicksilver, according to yesterday's WSJ, Quicksilver is gonna produce a women's ski line by Roxy, but the men's stuff will still be Rossi.

i think it's cool and a good idea to make girls specific skis and i do think it's a good thing that it will (hopefully) make skiing stand out more to the rest of the world and yes it's helping our sport and all that...

but come on, roxy? yes, it is a respected surf brand, and i think roxy surf gear and surf clothing is tight, but when it comes to their street wear, roxy is just annoying. they're trying to be something they're not, they should just stick to surfing.

that being said i also think we probably should wait to see how it turns out, because we could all be wrong.

girls dont ski. they dont need skis. they are just there for the guys after we finish skiing. roxy shoudl make special pot holders so they can stay in the kitchen. and a apron... not to mention special cleaning wear... yes. now that would be a smart move by roxy. girls would finally want to be where they belong cuz of brand association. life would be good.

The Roxy twin tip will be a re-badged women's trouble maker. The other two models will be from Dynastar's Exclusiv Womens line.

Well I havn't tried the Roxy skis yet, but I have to say that I'm kinda sceptical..
Last year I tried about 100 pairs of skis, both "girl skis" and "regular" skis. I didn't like a single girlski. They really sucked, to be honest. At least in my oppinion.
That's why I'm scepical..When the industry starts making really good skis for girls, then I'm going to buy a pair, but not before that!
