Rossignol SAS S5 Barras Skis 2009 - Sin number 5 Greed - Rossignol is ready to take you to the ultimate of excess: the SAS S5 Barras Skis. The Rossignol SAS S5 Barras Skis were created with a dual wood core, a hybrid of two separate woods that will make you crave the feel and flex. You will covet the Rossignol SAS S5 Barras Skis weight reducing system patented by Rossignol. The SAS S5 Barras are the future of all mountain skis. Whether it is throwing down switch 10 in the park or skiing bottomless powder, the S5 is all about versatile. The 98mm waist combined with a progressive sidecut gives the rider a huge advantage in soft snow and facilitates hookup on the groomers. The S5 is the KING of "The New School" all mountain skis. With athlete insight and the artistic touch of legend, Will Barras, the Rossignol S5 Barras Skis will have you piggishly hoarding them, which is exactly what Will Barras wanted: “I did a unique piece for both the top-sheet and the base of the ski. As you can see the base of the greed ski shows a man flying in clouds of jewellery and the same man on the top-sheet is willing to die to catch a diamond.”
When big-mountain freestyle phenomenon Kye Petersen wants to throw down all over town, he reaches for the Rossignol S5 with the custom topsheet by Will Barras. This ski packs a full clip, with a centered stance and twin tips for huge park airs, and a 98mm waist, full wood core, and progressive sidecut for unleashing hell on the rest of the mountain. “Only 98 in the waist” you scoff, “and no 190-plus length?” Ok, Bro-Magnon, so the S5 isn’t the biggest, fattest, burliest ski ever created, and it isn’t made for moon landings or thermonuclear warfare…but that’s exactly the point. Because whether you leave gapers gaping at Squallywood or thread silent trees solo at Jay Peak, the S5 Barras has the variable-condition versatility to rip it up, send it, and stomp it switch from Cali to Maine. Better keep an eye over your shoulder.

2 Days in.... | |
| Rating: |  |
I demo'd these at Jackson. NOT the typical Jackson day. It was 40 degrees and felt like a spring day. I skied soft crud, corn groomers, and lots of 3 day old moguls. They did really really well. In fact - I was super surprised how well they did on the bumps and groomers. Granted - these were not spring-haven't-been-groomed-in-three-weeks bumps - but they were bumps. Very lively and playful. I bopped them around through the trees and felt pretty darn invinvible ;) Day two was on Mt. Hood with about 2 feet of snow that had accumulated over several days. Choppy - but deep and cold. Here they were great as well. I feel they are a little les meneuverable in tight tress than my Atomic R:EX's....but that could have just been me on that day..... I will updated this after I get 4 or 5 more days on them. | |

Quiver of One | |
| Rating: |  |
This ski destroys pretty much anywhere. I stole my buddy's for a weekend of great pow and a park in good condition, and they were awesome. From slashing trees to floating big open pow faces, dropping pillows or throwing down, it was an almost perfect set-up for a quiver of one. My only grip with it is that it didn't feel like it weighted enough for how I normal like skis, like my ObSethed's. But surprisingly that wasn't a problem, they held up applaudably at the end of the weekend when it was all windswept crud and chopped out. The ability to lean really far into them and snap out to the next turn was amazing, something my damper feeling K2 didn't feel like. They have a good width to them for all but the most epic of pow days, and super stable on huge landings. | |

Austin Ross' word on the S5 | |
| Rating: | |
| Wake'n to a blue bird day and ready to work on your spins? Rossignol S5- Check! Have a feeling it's going to start snowing after lunch? Rossignol S5-Check! In a ski world where having a quiver is essential but not always affordable, the Rossignol S5 gives you the best of both worlds. Check out the pipe in the morning and hike your favorite spot in the trees by afternoon. The S5 does it all! -Austin | |

Great Ski | |
| Rating: | |
I rode these last year and absolutely love them. They have great edge to edge control and you can rip through anything. I am 6 foot and 190 lbs and could take em through the park as well as rip on fresh days. The whole line for 08/09 was great and 09/10 is going to impress too. I was happy with the overall stiffness of the ski for blasting through crud too. | |

| i love these skis, i have them in 185 they are a big step from what i used to ride (Line invaders 171) but suprisingly they are playful on gromers and awesome on kickers, off and on piste. They spin with eas and land pretty well switch in pow. the float is not all bad but i could use some stiffer boots for more control | |

Rideable ART!!! | |
| Rating: | |
| These are the best looking skis I have ever seen! I've skied the Brigade's (I think this is it?) and they are so solid for ripping everything on the mountain, so good for skiing the tree's, freshies, smooth fun everwhere from the big peaks to groomers and the park this shape is just so versatile. And the new art is amazing! | |

Have last years model in 171 | |

I should have gone longer, but other than that ski is solid. Incredibly good grip on ice, good flotation and reasonably durable topsheet. I have heard of weak base problems but had no issues myself. Only downside is that it is really expensive now. | |

Huge Fan... | |

The rossignol barras skis are a AMAZING! They are responsive, power through anything you can throw at them, and are always itching for more turns. For any skier looking for an extremely versatile all-mountain ski the S5 will not disappoint! | |
| Whitney Dyan at Backcountry.com Outlet on 12/27/2008 | |
pretty awesome | |
| Rating: | |
| They sink in deeper snow (over 1 and half feet), land cliffs pretty well, work well on groomers and park, but seem best suited to powder kickers because of the extra width. They don't land well backwards in powder well | |

AWESOME! | |
| Rating: | |
| I skiied these my first day up to the mountain and it was SICK! They landed everything from 180's to twenty foot cliffs with choppy landings. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! | |

same as the scratch brigade | |
| Rating: |  |
| before you drop a bundle on this rossi s5 know that it is just the 07/08 scratch brigade with a new top sheet. overall it's a good all mtn ripper with more flex than the mantra. | |
