Black Ops 98 Skis Now On Sale

This Ski Is A Staff Favorite:

Powder7 Staff Pick Aaron
By: Aaron
Wowza! Rossi really hit it out of the park (pun maybe intended) with these skis! I know this is no new revelation seeing as they haven't changed the construction in years but I was thoroughly impressed. The BlackOps felt far more playful than I was initially expecting. The tips and tails wanted to butter, smear, and pop all over the place. They were a joy in bumps and trees providing lots of energy and maneuverability. I skied these in soft snow, ice, and slush but did any of these conditions hold them back? No, no they did not. This ski could work for a large range of people, but if you like a more park shaped ski that can ski anything, rossi has accomplished that wonderfully.

Powder7 Staff Pick Jason H
By: Jason H
I rode the 192 cm length version of the ski in early season conditions. These skis were stiffer than I expected and preferred arcing long, fast turns...which was a blast in those conditions. They’re versatile and fun as a freestyle all-mountain ski, but even though I’m 6’3” and 200lbs, I would size down to the 182 cm length to get the best performance out of them.

Our Take On The 2024 Rossignol Black Ops 98:

With a name like the Black Ops, you know this ski means business. The Black Ops 98 returns to the ski’s roots by removing “Holyshred '' from the name, but with no internal construction updates from last year. Which is a good thing for us, since the Black Ops 98 has been an underground, Powder7 shop favorite the last couple of seasons. On the surface, the Black Ops features some playful characteristics–rocker in the tip and tail, with plenty of camber underfoot–but has a bit of a backbone to it. The construction is beefy enough to charge through chop, the hard stuff and everything in between with ease, but remains nimble in bumps and tight spots. Rossignol adds their Damp Tech as well, which acts as suspension and absorbs vibrations and inconsistencies in variable snow. To top it all off, a layer Diagofiber (which is a pretty gnarly sounding name) adds responsiveness and energy. This ski has a ton of pop when transitioning between turns and hitting little drops or side hits. Playful when you want it, and can charge when you need it to, the Black Ops 98 is the partner we all wished we had on top secret missions.
