Well, this is possibly the dumbest thread ever. Rossi twins are excellent.

top 3: DB, Faction, Prior
bottom 3: volant, dynastar, salomon

See, but Dynastars are fine. Just bad edges. I should say atomic, really, just for the stomps... but their other skis are pretty sweet this year.

ANY ski with a foam core sucks. Period. Hence - Rossi sucks.

THC does not a foam core make, genius. that shit hold up. Besides, if you have to have total wood core, just get the scratch eco. BCs are perhaps the most versatile twins I've ever skiied.

If THC is not foam, I don't know what is. It's just a marketing gimmick. We've sawed through a pair and actually looked. IT'S FOAM.
That is why Rossi sucks, they're like the drug dealers of the industry.
Their skis do not hold up either. Working at a shop, I can say Rossi's have more warranties than any other company. Especially freeride skis.
Cracked sidewalls, de-lames, blown tips, you name it, they've had it.

That would be because more people buy rossis than any other, except possibly salo (less so in recent years, considering a somewhat diminished reputation). I realize there is foam in the THC, but it's not a foam core. And they damn well do hold up. At least the ones I've skiied (FS, BC, B3 Bandit). If you're going to bitch at a ski company, try Salo or Dynastar.

They're tops because they sell more RENTAL skis worldwide, it's half their business.
And last time I checked, K2 had top sales in N. America, with Volkl having the number one selling ski - 6 star.

THC means tri-hybrid core
It is a core composite made from wood, foam and fiberglass.

Seriously, there is not a trace of wood in those skis. It's gimmick - THEY ARE LYING TO YOU.

THC = Triple Hybrid Core. Wood, Microcell and Isocore. NO FOAM. Rossi has been using this core in their snowboards for years and it has proven to be indestructable. (sp?)

Just curious. How many of you have realy tried and tested 6 individual brands enough to make these lists? Not just taking two runs with a demo pair.
