There's lots of hate on here, so I would like to say something positive about a company. They aren't "core", but they are still killing it. Lots of flow team riders all around, good quality and selection of skis...yep, nice job.

I've seen more broken rossi heel pieces from bindings than I can count... Mind you thats just the binding. Not a fan.

really? I have found look/rossi to be much more durable than marker, tyrolia, rossi, or anything.

The rossi rep at the expo was all over me, he was like "This years FS has more Microcell!!!!" "So much stiffer!!!" Then i told him that i've tried last years and i thought it had way too much toris. flex, and so he grabed the skis with two hands and tried to wring it; then he said "It looks like we stiffened them up." That guy was a clown. But yeah, i do enjoy the rossi FS overall.

Damn! Was he a superhuman? Twisting skis in his hands, rather than understanding the physical pressure put into a ski on a high speed turn. Wow.

Broken rossi heelpieces? What model, pretty uncommon... You mean ripped out of the ski or broke the binding?

The higher din racing bindings, the heel piece rotates on this plate 360 degrees, and the two arms that support the actual locking mechanism seem to always snap off. I ski on Atomic now, (all my skis have 10-18's) but my fav bindings to date are Salomon.

thast so wierd, looks kick ass all around, i haven never seen anyone wtih a problem, maybe its a terrain diff? idk i live on the east coast, but yeah my local shop got word that they killed the pivot on the px-12's for next year and ordered 100 pairs of the p-10's haha, i just got mine the other day, and i rode the same bindings last year, they seemed awsome, never had a problem.

kulpy, the binding she is talking about is not the one you are on. they still make the one she is talking about, from rossi its the fks15, fks18, and fks22 maybe? its the pivot heel from the higher end race bindings, and the arms that hold the heel to the plate is what you move, the heel isnt attached to a tray like the regular p10 or p12 was. and we're running low on the p12 jibs, only like 2 or 3 pairs left, but i think we still have a good amount of p10s left over.

My friend always had problems with his rossi bindings. I don't say that it's not good, but i prefer tyrolia or salomon bindings than rossi/look bindings

Girl breaking lot's of ROSSI bindings...You must be a beast haha. Seriously Rossi look bindings you can't fuck with this. This years Scratch fs is the fucking shit. Nice'n wide, stiff, and seems pretty solid. Once i get some days on them, I will give everyone the full update...

Rossi is a great brand, and that's from a Salomon fan. Both these companies - I have great respect for. They may not have wild and crazy graphics but their skis are good and to be honest... better.

Rossi's scratch skis are fairly priced and cool

Same with Salomon - the surf inspiration is very cool.

Not to knock on brands but I think we are too quick to complain about these guys. They drive the sport, they have good teams and events. They also play big roles in sponsoring movies...

On graphics... Simple is better, I'm tired of crazy 80's colors... Plus everybody will look the same.

I got rossi pants-sick, I have some new rossi bindings, which look sick and have a long ass warrenty no questions and I have some comfortable rossi soft boots. Rossi may not be as "core" as say companies like armada or 4frnt, but they make some sick shit.
