Rossignol Avenger 82 Basalt Skis with Rossignol TPX Axium 120 Bindings 2012 |
Retail: $900 (38% off)
The Avenger 82 Basalt is one the the true value skis on the market today. At 82mm underfoot the Basalt gives you plenty of waist width for blasting through the crud and broken snow that can accumulate on the hard pack, some float for light powder, without being too slow edge to edge. Rossi's wood core, basalt laminate, and sandwich sidewall construction give the 82 Basalt enough torsional rigidity for all but the heaviest skiers. The oversize sidecut make this ski a dream for rocketing down groomers both quick, tight turns, and longer more giant slalom turns. Full sidewalls give the 82 Basalt enough edge grip to hold a solid edge on the ice without being to demanding or too much work for an intermediate. Rossignol's power turn camber give you plenty of energy and rebound, for skier that still enjoy a traditional cambers ski. Plenty of ski for an aggressive frontside skier that will spend most of their time on the hard pack, but still a solid option for those who will venture off trail.

Hey, Trey here. I just got off of Rossi's Avenger 82 Carbon with Basalt weave. I like this ski a lot, I'm going to give it five out of five stars in this category. I skied the TI version which is a little bit stiffer, little heavier and at Mach speeds it's great. But this ski all the way up to Mach speed is so much more playful, tons of energy, lighter weight, easier on you, you could ski all day ripping on the groomers and rip through the crud. I say for that solid intermediate to the casual expert skier is going to love this ski.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Hey! Thom here with the Rossignol Avenger 82 Basalt. This is a really cool ski. I give this thing 4/5 stars. Similar to the 82 TI in terms of the shape but they take away the metal laminate and do a basalt woven titanol layer. It makes the ski a little bit more lively. Also, a little softer, definitely for your solid and intermediate even through your advanced level skier which is not pushing it quite is hard or maybe a little bit lighter weight. It's a really solid ski, very responsive, the only downside about it was at the top of the speed you were a little unsure if it was really going to stay there with you but for somebody who is doing all mountain cruising on blues and blacks, the front side skier it's going to be a light responsive ski.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Hey my name is Sean. I just skied the Rossignol Avenger 82 Basalt. I give this ski a 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. it's great for that intermediate all the way up to expert skier and was great down the slopes. I challenged it down the hill, it carved like a champ! It had great rebound and initiated turns smoothly and solid. It popped me right into the next carving turn. I had fun on this ski, one of the best skis I have skied from Rossignol today. I give it a 4 1/2 out of 5 stars to be great for the intermediate all the way up to expert skier.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
