The Experience 98 is the big bad boy of the Experience line from Rossignol. At 98mm underfoot the Experience 98 gives you the ability to charge deep powder, blow crud away, and still rip on the hard pack. Rossignol's revolutionary Auto Turn Camber is a blend of seventy percent camber underfoot, and thirty percent rocker in the tip and tail. Tip rocker help the ski plane on top of the powder reducing the chances of going over the handlebars as you rocket down China Bowl on a deep day making as few turns as possible. It also absorbs the negative energy in crud on a day when High Rustler is firm and bumpy. The extended sidecut continues beyond the contact point where the tip and tail rocker start, so when you increase your edge angle there is more sidecut for more powerful turns. A great ski for someone Back East that wants a ski that will be ready when the Nor'Easters roll in, a Midwesterner that will spend more than a few days in the real mountains, or the Westerner that will spend some time on the groomers, or at a sub 350 inch resort. A true all mountain tool that will not disappoint anyone.

Switched from 2000 Salomon Scream8 Pilot length 170 to the Rossi Experience 98 length 180 (I am 165 tall). No problem controlling this ski, it just goes itself, very stable at any speed and any turn radius, any terrain. Loved the experience on Experience.

Hi, Trey with the Rossignol Experience 98. I give this ski 4 1/2 of 5 stars. If you're a big powerful skier who's going to be doing a lot of crud and big groomers out west or the Sierra's, I think you're going to love this ski. It's incredibly smooth, incredibly stable and you can go as fast as you've ever wanted to go. 4 1/2 out of 5.

Hi this is Thom. I'm here with the Rossignol Experience 98. I give it this thing 4/5 stars. Really stable with the full sidewall, super, super smooth, really lightweight ski. It's very very poppy. Definitely a little bit more geared towards hard pack as it's real fast edge to edge. Great on short to medium radius turns, gets a little waivery when you really try to open the radius up but for that guy with a real good carving background whose mixing it up on the hill and is really your 50/50 skier, you're going to be really pleased.

Jeff here with the Experience 98. All we can say is wow, another great ski from Rossignol this year. This thing is absolutely out of control, the best thing I've rode all day. 98 underfoot, obviously with the experience there's nothing better that you can say about this. Short snappy turns, you want to let this thing go wide open. Crud stuff, loose stuff, groomers probably not going to be the greatest ski in the pow. Anywhere you want to go however, fast as you want to do it. This is going to be a great ski for you five out of five.

Hunter here from skis.com with the Experience 98 from Rossignol. Five star ski. You can load it up in the turns as much as you want. Throw all your weight into the ski, it's gonna snap out of it. Easy to initiate a turn with. I couldn't shake the edge on it, stable at speed, just a great all-around ripping ski. I really enjoyed it.

This is Hans with the Rossignol Experience 98. This ski just absolutely surprised me. You can see it's a full sidewall ski. This ski will do anything you want it to do. For a 98 under the foot it skis extremely well on hard pack. It's snappy, you can take this ski pretty much anywhere you want to go. In powder it might be a little bit too low of a tip profile but otherwise this a ski I recommend to anybody intermediate to expert skier. I give this a 5 out of 5.

Hi I'm Charlie with the Rossignol Experience 98. This is a really great advanced ski. I give it five out of five stars. It likes to go fast and it likes to make quick snappy turns. It's really poppy but it will still hold the edge on the bigger turns. Will take you just about anywhere on the mountain that you want to go.

I'm Adam and I'm skiing on a Rossignol Experience 98. This is a new ski from them this year, 98 underfoot with a full sidewall. It's primarily a hard snow ski but you know with that 98 under foot you can definitely take it everywhere and all over the mountain. It's got a little bit of rocker to it so it's going to initiate a turn really well deflecting the bumps in the crud and in the powder. It's a really fun ski for strong powerful skiing but it's also not too over bearing so if you are a little lighter weight you can still manage it. I give it five out of five.
