The Rossi Sin 7 simplifies steering. Anyone, regardless of skill set, can step into a Sin 7 and make turns.  The skier with marginal abilities will only be able to push them around, but the Sin 7 won’t care as its tip and tail aren’t perturbed by swiveling and the cambered area underfoot is so soft it would bend if a bee landed on it.

The more accomplished skier will love the manner in which the Sin 7 can either roll sinuously edge to edge, dissolving one turn into the next, or, if given a jolt of pressure, ping off the edge and scoot into the next arc with vigor.

The Sin 7’s translucent tip and tail sections suggest a ski that is both lightweight and responsive to a light touch, which describes this ski to a T. “It feels like you are always floating, like you’re never really in the snow,” avers Winks from California Ski Company. “Never hooky or catchy, yet the edge is always there when you need it.”

Our testers found the Sin 7 both quick and well connected to the snow as long as speed stayed within the recreational range.  Its predominant attribute is forgiveness, particularly when the snow surface is softer, groomed or not.  While short turns are in its repertoire, its preferred beat is more relaxed.

The Sin 7 is not too proud to smear a turn when requested, so it’s good at disguising errors rather than inflating them.  It’s a terrific tool for someone ready to discover what is truly meant by the term, “all-terrain.”
