Question: K2 Remedy 102 or Rossi Saffron 7

Diva in Training
Hey so I'm currently skiing Blizzard Crushes that I got a couple years ago, they're 98 underfoot and 163 cm. They worked for me last year but I was a lot stronger then and they are a crazy stiff ski. I'm looking for something much more playful in the pow and fast in the groomers. I have a thing for bumps and crud as well.
I'm an definitely an advanced skier, 5'7'' 125lbs if that helps at all
Thanks:ski2:

If you're thinking this year's Saffron, yes. Last year Rossi did not use the same core as the rest of the 7 series. My shop refused to carry it. This year they changed the core to match the rest of the series so go for it.

I have the Savory 7. skied it in powder all last season and it's a blast. My everyday ski is the Temptation 88. I was considering the Temptation 100 but my boot fitter told me it's too much ski for some one my size, sub 100 lbs.

Yesterday I demoed the 2015 Saffron 7. Fun!!!!!!!!! that's all I can say. I didn't have it on my radar because I thought it would be too much of a powder ski but even on the groomed it was awesome. It's similar to the Rossi S3 but has it's own personality. I'm sure it will be a great all mountain ski.

I have the Remedy 102s, and while I like them, they are not my favorite ski ever. I have a hard time with the little bit of tail rocker they have; the skis feel a little weird at the end of my turns. Also the jump from 98 (my previous skis) to 102 underfoot makes a difference on groomers. I'll probably go back to something in the mid / high 90s for my everyday ski next time.

They are, however, super energetic and playful, so if that's your #1 priority you might like them. Maybe you can demo?
