Ahem… (drum roll please)…
Hear ye, hear ye…By order of the Ski Diva Goddesses, I introduce you to my very first pair of 21st Century skis! Say hello to my little friends: Rossignol Hero Mogul Accelere!!!!
Happy dance!!
Heyyyyoooo!!
Whoot!! Whoot!!
I’m so happy, I just creamed!!
Boom-shacka-lacka!!
Can I getta-whaat-whaat!!
How YOU do’in!!
Bouyah!!
Now, that I’ve got all that out of my system, I want to thank you all for the feedback, advice, support and sheer love of skiing. Without you all, I would not have made this purchase. I’ve never owned a pair of Rossi’s - yet my first run felt like “home” on them (
@Jilly - the best!! No wonder you’re a Rossi-gal!) I selected the hero moguls due to my style of skiing and their overall performance. The shape isn’t far off from my straights either, a mere 1/4 inch at the waist and only 1.25 inches at the widest point (so, :::thbbbbft::: to all the straight haters of the world).
My only regret (which is so foolish and utterly immature of me): the base of my new skis are just black and white. My K2 racers have signature neon pink bottoms. Back in the day, when it was just straight skis - that’s how we knew what type of skier you were in my small world! Pink bottoms = bad-ass skier. It was always a kick to catch some air and see the crazy pink bottoms flash across the white snow. Even my last few runs on my K2’s - a few fond followers asked me if “those have the neon pink flashy bottoms, right?!” Bittersweet. R.I.P. straights. Love you and will always remember you. Aw well, maybe Rossignol will see this and start making pink neon bottoms?!
Come to think of it… Psst…Hey K2, Christian Louboutin bit off your flashy iconic bottoms!! **Squirrel**
Thank you all again!! So happy!! Transferring my new bindings this weekend just in time for more snow in the NE!!
