Product Info
Rossignol Sickle Skis 2012: The Rossingol Sickle Skis pick apart big lines and backcountry booters with swagger and style to spare. The Sickle slashes powder and crud with ease, butters natural features with style, and inspires confidence in most any condition. Spin Turn Rocker is a 100% full rocker shape that delivers unsurpassed float and playful manueverability in powder and backcountry shred-mode. This banana camber shape gives the ski a silky, buttery feel and compliments the full length Extended Sidecut, allowing them to rail on hardpack as well. With WRS and Jib Tip technology, the Sickle has a smooth, even swing weight when going big, while the beefy wood core construction provides a damp and stable landing pad. The Sickle is a superhero ski with a playful versatility and surfyness that will leave you grinning ear-to-ear while claiming every line in sight.
Product Details
Shape
Spin Turn Rocker has a full rocker shaped like a banana with no camber underfoot that makes the ski playful, easy to spin, and adds pop, energy, and float in deep powder.
Extended Sidecut continues beyond contact point where tip and tail rocker start. As speeds and edge angles increase, more sidecut is engage for powerful full-length edge grip. At lower speeds the edge angles sidecut is less engages for more maneuverability and ease.
Construction
MiniCap ROSSITOP construction strengthens the top of the ski increasing durability. 30 degree sidewalls improve swing weight and reduce ski’s overall weight, enhancing edging and durability.
Jib Tip gives the ski a rounder tip shape and a rubber layer absorbs shock and makes it more durable.
The Jib Absorption System has a rubber layer between sidewall and edge for shock absorption with an extra thick layer sandwiched in the tip and tail to absorb landing shocks and increase durability.
Flex
Poplar wood creates a light and lively ski with excellent ski-to-snow feel and superb damping characteristics. Fiberglass laminates provide power, flex, and stability.
WRS (Weight Reduction System) aligns core fibers with the ski’s sidecut shape, placing more underfoot and fewer in the tip and tail.
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width that is equal to the ski waist width and at most 15 mm wider.

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm. Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker

Rocker Type
Rocker Rocker (also called reverse-camber) is just as it sounds – camber turned upside down. Rocker skis have a side profile with a smooth downward curvature and a contact point at the middle of the ski. Rocker skis excel in deep powder. This profile provides the skis with less tip and tail hang up to prevent from catching edges and allows the skis to initiate turns extremely quickly. This profile doesn’t perform as well in icy conditions or on harder snow but if you spend lots of time in deep, untracked snow and like a more playful ski, Rocker is a great choice.

Full Twin Tip

Tail Type
Full Twin Tip Desinged to allow you to ski backwards, full twin tips are found primarily on park & pipe skis and freestyle powder skis. More and more, we are seeing twin tips on all-mountain skis of all abilities, as it makes it a little easier to get around, and for the most part does not inhibit forward skiing.
