Details
Hero Athlete GS is our proven U14 and U16 Giant Slalom ski. Construction is derived from the latest developments and testing with World Cup athletes and adapted in size 170, 175, 182, and 185cm. Softer flexes than FIS models, make it an optimal choice for the developing athletes to progress fundamentals and squeeze time off the clock on any GS course. Line Control Technology (LCT) provides precision and grip at speed. LCT technology eliminates reverse camber flex providing better snow contact and stability in turns. Race-ready construction for a balance of total control of your line, power, and precision to win races.
LCT TECHNOLOGY
An evolution of World Cup racing innovation, Rossignol's patented new LCT construction harnesses pure power and energy, delivering fluid stability in all conditions. Featuring a central "power rail" integrated from tip-to-tail, LCT eliminates counter-flexing of the ski to ensure consistently smooth stability and dynamic control of your line.
CASCADE TIP
Our CASCADE TIP construction employs staggered lengths of metal and fiberglass through the tip of the ski, reducing swing weight and controlling tip torsion for smoother turn initiation, increased precision, and more effective full-length edge grip.
ASHWOOD CORE
ASHWOOD CORES are dense, durable, and heavy, providing optimized dampness (vibration removal) and stability.
FULL TITANAL LAYER
The FULL TITANAL LAYER provides a solid mechanism to restore maximum energy and power in heavy turns, extreme conditions or high speeds.
RECTANGULAR FULL SIDEWALL
RECTANGULAR SIDEWALL construction features a horizontal layering of core materials (wood, fiberglass, metal, etc.) combined with full-length vertical sidewalls to deliver optimized edge grip, precision, balance, and power.
FULL CAMBER
Our FULL CAMBER profile delivers the ultimate power, precision, and rebound for uncompromising FIS Race-level performance.
OVERSIZED SIDECUT
Combining deep carving sidecuts with wider, modern waist widths, our OVERSIZE SIDECUT delivers powerful carving precision and edge grip with increased stability and control.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT FIT
Your choice of ski, boot design, and size will always be a very personal and subjective decision. Here we have compiled some factors that should be taken into account when deciding on which ski size to choose.
Optimal ski length is determined according to (in order): weight, physical ability, skier height, and type of skier (aggressive/non-aggressive). Less aggressive skiers should choose a smaller size, while more aggressive and experienced skiers may want to choose a size up.
How does it work?
- Measure your height: 175 cm
- Define your skiing level: experienced
- Choose your ski type: piste
- Calculate your required ski length: 175 + Experienced (piste) = 175 + [-5.0] = [170, 175] cm
