The Experience 88 takes versatile all-mountain skis to a new level. Much better on piste than you'd expect from a ski this wide!

Great for :

pretty good at most things for a "jack of all trades"

Not so great for :

not ideal in hard or icy conditions

Target ability level :

Not a “replacement” as such for the legendary Bandits but filling this gap in the Rossi range, the Experience 88 has become a benchmark in all mountain skis.

The deep sidecut profile at first glance looks very similar to a piste ski, only wider.

This extra width gives plenty surface area for flotation without the need for an extended tip, and makes the Experience perform very respectably in slightly harder snow and piste conditions.

Rockers stop the very wide tip and tail becoming too grabby in hard snow and groomed piste. Traditional camber along 70% of the ski's length drive the edge into the snow giving great edge grip, rebound and liveliness.

At 88 underfoot it’s never going to be a fast ski edge to edge, and both flex and torsion are quite soft as befits a soft snow ski, though titanal layers help with edge grip and stability on hard snow.
