Rossignol Bandit B3 Alpine Ski

 Brand : Rossignol
Item : ROS0053
The Rossignol Bandit B3 Alpine Ski is a completely new animal for 2005-2006. With dimensions of 120/83/110mm, this ski is a slimmed-down but aggressive version of last season's B3. (For the fat ski, check out the B4). The Bandit B3 is an all-mountain charger that feasts on everything from crud and chowder to fresh snow, and it skis hardpack with ferocious authority. If you ski everywhere, through any snow condition, and demand a solid performance, the B3's your ski. Rossignol's Shark Nose technology places an aluminum insert at the tip of the ski, which increases torsional rigidity—meaning the B3 feels more stable at higher speeds. The Shark Nose also lets the B3 cruise through poor snow conditions without deflection. You get a smooth ride, even when the snow's less than ideal.

Rossignol Bandit B3 Alpine Ski



Midwester is confused, not Rossi
The 2006 B3 is a new ski slotting between the B2 and the B4. Last years B2 was: 113/76/103mm; the 2006 B2 is: 116/78/105mm. The 2006 B3 is 120/83/110mm. No way is that the same as last year’s B2.


B3 is Very Good in The Pow
I tried the B2 and B3 on a demo day that had deep Sierra heavy powder. Both skis handled the powder well, though the B2's made me work harder. The B3's easier turns in the powder means I can do more runs before wearing out. The B2's were better on the bumped up runs - both were fine on smooth cruisers. The B3 was a big improvement in absorbing bumps over my old powder skis, the K2 Big Kahunas. I bought the B3's and skied many days on them last year.


ugh, Rossignol is a bunch of idiots
In the interest of confusing all of their customers, Rossignol made a ski that’s a mix of the B2 and B3 from last year, and called it the B3. The new B3 is a pretty good ski if you ski a handful of times each year and you only want one ski. It carves turns nicely on groomers, and it's easy to get the ski to hook up. Off trail the B3 is kind of a disappointment. It just doesn’t have the stability and float you want out of an off-piste ski. If you only get one ski this year and you really charge, go for the Dynastar 8800. If you're looking for a ski that's a lot of fun on-trial, take the B3.


Rossi 2005-06 B3
Just finished hammering Keystone. Conditions: Soft 2 day old dump. The B3's are great all mountain skis which can handle everything, from corduroy to deep pow in the South Pole. They blast through crud, are very forgiving in the bumps (not at all hooky) and have great float. I am making big gains from the old style all mountains.


Ski
What else can you say about this ski? This is one of the best all mountain ski's out there. It floats in the Alta pow and eats the crud. I love this ski and would recommend it to anyone.
