Full Description
The Scratch is a great option for park and backcountry freestyle use, though as with any freestyle ski less suitable for general piste skiing.
Rossignol's Power Turn uses 100% traditional high camber underfoot and delivers power, energy, and edge grip as well as storing energy for explosive snap and boost.
The core materials use 3 types of wood for a ski that's light and manoeuvrable, smooth and damp. The core is combined a fibreglass sock to concentrate the reinforcement underfoot, with less in the tip and tail to minimise provide a balanced and light swing weight.
Rossi’s Extended Sidecut continues beyond the contact points - at higher speeds and with increased edge angle more of the sidecut is engaged giving powerful grip along the whole length of the ski. At lower speeds and in the park the extremities are less engaged making the Scratch easy to manoever.

TOP TIP
Ski Servicing
Watch out for shops that cut corners – and costs – by hardly ever servicing their skis, or just giving them a quick wax. Unserviced or badly serviced skis can ruin your whole week. Why pay for substandard kit?
