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.
