First off a little bit about me.
Hello, my name is Cam and I ski in the East coast. I am an ADVANCE TYPE 3+ SKIER that skis everything. but, what I'm looking for in this future pair of skis is a ski that can handle park, groomers, powder,moguls, trees, steeps, legitimately everything. I am 14 6'4, 250 pounds. i like a ski with a medium-stiff flex.
Would these skis suit me?
How durable are they?
Does anyone have any reviews?
Any other suggestions?

S3's would be perfect for you. They have a nice stiff flex, rocker in the tips and tails and high 90's waist for pow. Their really light for park and have plenty of sidecut to rip groomers. Rossi also buts rubber in the tips and tahe tails of their twins so they pretty much will never delam. I would also highly suggest looking into Rossi s5's. Similar ski just without rocker and a poppier flex.

I am 6'2" 140 and I have the Rossi S3's and they seem to be exactly what you're looking for.

I would not recommend the S3's. I weigh 160 and I think they're way too soft to be considered medium-stiff. They ski nice on the whole mountain, but excel nowhere. For park, you're gonna want something more symmetrical. Also, they tend to slide in turns rather than carve. And durability on mine has been shit. I'm by not a great skier, but I still pushed the S3's to the point where one of the tips warped. It was twisted off center. I have S3's if you haven't already figured it out.

I got the 189 Kung Fujas. I wanted a ski >100mm underfoot, with a rocker/camber/rocker profile. I didn't want to get a hudge rocker ski like the Obsethed or something by Surface. I was basically looking for something a little longer and wider than the S3.
I don't ski park.

s3's for sure. they are super fun in the park and all over the mtn. haven't gotten to shred bumps or pow on them yet.

i demoed some s3's and loved them but i might be able to get 2011 kung fujas for half the price. How do they compare?

KF are a little wider. They hand-flex a little softer. I can't compare the two other than that, but the KF do ski pretty all over pretty well.

S5's were my next choice but I ended up getting a pair of 2011 kung fujas because I got a good deal. So I guess just let the tread die.
