UPDATE: Soul 7 HD skis<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and Experience 88 HD skis<\/a><\/strong> available now!<\/p>\n

Rossignol, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Ros-sig-nol: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Ros. Sig. Nol.<\/p>\n

The Soul 7, of course, remains the star of the show. After three winters spent methodically conquering Western mountains, the Soul 7 has finally been rewarded with a redesigned construction and updated graphics. No longer will Rossignol’s flagship freeride ski look like a yellow highlighter. No! For 2017, the all new Soul 7 HD now looks like a yellow highlighter with red stripey things.<\/p>\n

Other stuff changed, too, though. The Soul 7 HD now features a carbon matrix to reinforce its light paulownia wood core–a quality it shares with all of the 7 series skis. That adds a bit more backbone to a ski that’s always been remarkably stable for its weight. Just like me. Don’t believe it? Just try to knock me over. Can’t be done, friend.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the freeride lineup, the Sin 7 has been ritualistically sacrificed to the god of ski engineers. In its place: the Sky 7 HD. Vestigial signs of the old Sin 7 remain, as the new Sky has the same dimensions of its predecessor, and the same 98mm waist. But carbon alloy and paulownia wood make this ski simply a skinnier Soul 7.<\/p>\n

On the women’s side, the charade has finally ended. The Savory 7 and Saffron 7 were always the exact same ski as the Soul and Sin, thinly disguised behind a lady-friendly name. Now, Rossignol is simply calling them the Soul 7 HD W and Sky 7 HD W. Because the journey to equality begins with a single step. They’re still exactly the same as the men’s version, though, if you’re keeping score at home. Which you really shouldn’t be. I don’t even know what would constitute scoring a point. Think it through, man.<\/p>\n

Oh, and last year’s Squad 7 is now called the Super 7 RD and has the same lightweight paulownia wood core of its 7 series brethren. It’s also pretty damn straight, with a 30m turn radius. But don’t worry, there’s still the softer, slightly skinnier, Super 7 HD for you old school Super 7 fans. The two 2017 versions of the Super 7 look pretty much identical, too. So that’ll be fun for the warehouse elves next winter.<\/p>\n

Here are some pics of all this:<\/p>\n

\"2017<\/p>\n

From left to right, that’s the Super 7 HD (or its evil twin, the Super 7 RD–we’d never know), the new Soul 7 HD, the Sky 7 HD, and the Smash 7, which, apparently, didn’t get in on this HD action. In the distance, you can see the women’s versions. But you get the idea.<\/p>\n

And a few more of the other lines:<\/p>\n

We’ll have more to say on this blog about the 2017 Rossignol lineup–specifically the Experience and Temptation skis you see above–as soon as I have time to translate my notes from the SIA Snow Show into a thousand words of weird nonsense. So…look forward to that?<\/p>\n
