What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I skied the Experience 82 CA on a firm morning that turned slushy by lunch, and it handled both without feeling out of place. It rolls easily from edge to edge, and when I tipped it over into a carve, it held clean and predictable. The Drive Tip keeps it from feeling nervous at speed, and the lighter core makes it easy to stay fresh for a full day of laps."Who It's ForIntermediate to Advanced Frontside Skiers:This ski is built for resort riders who want to sharpen their carving skills while keeping things light and manageable. It's ideal for intermediates progressing into stronger edge angles and advanced skiers who value agility and smooth performance over a heavy, demanding build. What It's ForAll-Mountain Skiing with a Groomer Focus:With an 82mm waist and All Trail Rocker profile, the Experience 82 CA thrives on corduroy, hardpack, and variable in-bounds conditions. It's quick edge to edge for carving and composed enough to handle late-day chop and mixed snow. Why We Like ItLightweight Agility with Damp, Confident Feel:The paulownia wood core keeps the ski nimble and easy to maneuver, while basalt laminate adds strength and vibration control without excess weight. Rossignol's Drive Tip Solution smooths out chatter in the shovel, helping the ski track confidently on firmer snow. The rectangular sidewall construction enhances edge grip and precision, and the included Xpress 11 GW bindings complete the setup with a convenient, integrated system.
