The elusive elixir Rossi’s quest hopes to capture is in essence the peppiness of fiberglass, so turns practically finish themselves, married to the calming qualities only metal seems able to provide. Yet marriages of metal and glass often flounder when metal tries to stifle fiberglass’s free spirit. What alchemy will allow metal to maintain its firm hand while giving glass the latitude to frolic down the fall line? The answer is the Carbon Alloy Matrix Rossi has concocted to boost the Super 7’s power quotient while maintaining its effervescent nature. The stiffer structure can sustain high velocity impacts with calcified crud, yet the Super 7 HD still feels light and maneuverable.

Rossignol has been working on the right recipe for its Super 7 model since its inception, tweaking everything but its intent: to make expert-level powder skiing as simple as possible.

The Super 7 HD puts wide width to work in spring snow that’s turned from soufflé to sludge. The Super 7 HD easily dispatches set-up snow that would be all but unskiable on an All-Mountain West model. Its ultra-light Air Tip has but one job, at which it is infallible: to be sure every centimeter behind it is led up and over any obstacle, no matter what its density.
