the rossi S5 and the S6...

im 5'10 155lbs. pretty aggressive. i want something that has good float but can still hold an edge on east coast hard. i also want a ski that has some pretty decent play to it. i will be tree skiing up north and out west a bit too.

let me know what you think or if u have any other suggestions.

the s5 (former brigade) is one of the most fun and versatile skis you can buy, in my opinion. it's light, has an amazing flex, and it's size is pretty much perfect. 98 underfoot is big enough to give you a fun ride in the deepest of snow and still have relatively quick edge to edge performance. that ski absolutely slays in the park, by the way. my favorite park ski from rossi for sure. there's really no reason for you not to get the s5.

yeah you should go with the s5
the s6 is probably too wide for the east

I live on the east coast also, and if I had to pick between those to I def go with S5 over S6. The 98mm waist should be plenty for you.
