What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I’ve skied these Rossignol Experience 82 Basalt skis on everything from icy groomers to soft spring bumps. Their lightweight build and the basalt layers keep things stable and smooth, no matter the conditions."From dawn patrols to closing-day laps, the Rossignol Experience 82 Basalt keeps us carving with confidence. The basalt-reinforced construction absorbs vibrations for a smoother ride, while the lightweight paulownia wood core makes each turn feel effortless. Whether we’re seeking fresh corduroy or cruising off-piste, the Experience 82 Basalt’s 82mm waist and full sidewall construction help us stay nimble and sure-footed. The Drive Tip Solution blends directional fibers with dampening materials to reduce chatter and inspire control in tricky terrain. With a quick turn radius and balanced All Trail Sidecut, we can lay trenches on the groomers and pivot through variable snow, making every day at the resort one to remember.
