Full Description
Narrower than the Temptation 82, the 78 is slightly more geared towards harder snow conditions, whether on or off piste.
The tip in particular looks a lot like a piste ski but there's method in this magic – the additional width gives plenty of flotation in soft snow, but the oversize shape grips well on harder snow and engages quickly in the turn for piste performance.
The Temptation 78 uses Rossi’s Autoturn Rocker – 70% traditional camber in the main body with short rocker sections at tip and tail which help flotation in soft snow and make the ski less grabby than you’d expect with its tip width and shape on harder snow.
This is a ski that prefers long turns and it also prefers medium speeds rather than flat out cruising. It’s also quite accessible for lower level skiers, so don’t be put off and think you’re not up to it.

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?
