Our expert Nathan Fusier at INTERSPORT guided us through the conditions of the snow, and what skies to use. This advice was crucial to our ski rental during our trip, and in conjunction with SoEdited and Intersport, we teamed up to review this seasons latest skies. 

To say I was excited to run with ‘the classic French ski’ Rossignol HERO LTD is an understatement. As of yet I had not  had the pleasure, and I was slightly nervous they wouldn’t live up to their ‘HERO’ status. Or I was just not that good a skier, and these legendary skies would simply be wasted on me and demand I get my skinny legs off them! I had a difficult nights sleep in anticipation. ​

Rossignol hero LTD: The classic French ski
Firstly, these skies truly deserve the HERO status, and within a run I was hooked, in love, crying… Where had they been all my ski life!! Not only were they just an incredible extension of my physical body, my skiing ability just felt as if it had instantly improved. ​

At Intersport I was advised by their expert ski advisers Nathen to take the shorter style, coming up to my chin. Generally my skies are about my height or just over, so this would be another difference in my performance. ​

The HERO Rossignol LTD ski is designed specifically for short carving on groomed piste conditions. So after a heavy snow fall 4 days before, and with the snow having time to lay with good grooming, Nathen at Intersport advised me to take the HERO out on a long awaited date. 

Rossignol HERO LTD are as clean cutting as a fresh blade, allowing short carving and semi circular cuts in the snow with ease. So traveling down hill was swift, focused, smooth and the ability to produced carving from short, to wider carving was equally superb! ​

One item I was very surprised with and the Rossignol HERO, was its ease and stability with moguls. At first I was unsure if this style would cope with moguls, they did, effortlessly, and I had a blissful day carving the piste and light modules as if I was, well a HERO !!! 

These have become my favourite model and ski for groomed pistes, and I will look to test them out on heavier conditions to see what their scope and ability is in fresher thicker snow.

Im a very happy skier, and any donations for my New Ski Fun welcome. manicured nails! ​
