Rossignol broke new ground with the Temptation 100, testing the assumption that expert women won’t flail if they’re handed the same ski they deliver to all-mountain men.  The men’s E 100 Ti is easily the most substantial of Rossi’s all-terrain skis, and the Temptation 100 doesn’t back off this get-good-or-go-home formula.  With two sheets of Titanal astride its core, the Temptation 100 should part chunky chop as readily as Moses parted the Red Sea.

“Go Big Bertha!” Kristen from Footloose cheered after stepping off the Temptation 100. “This is for a lady who is out to shred,” she suggests. The world would be a better place if there were more female athletes with the skill set to make the Temptation 100 the best choice for them, but until that glorious day we caution womankind not to be tempted by the Temptation 100 unless they already drop their hip as a matter of course.
