Rossignol Black Ops Alpineer
Rossignol market the new Alpineer as a freetouring ski, but weighing in at 1260g with just 86mm underfoot, we’d class it more as a lightweight, multi-day kinda rig.
Ideal for newbies and experienced tourers alike, it’s an affordable touring ski designed to facilitate rapid progress in the backcountry.
A paulownia/ microcell core lies at the heart of the Alpineer’s feathery feel, and Rossi’s Air Tip tech lightens the ski at the tip and tail further adding to its uphill cred.
There are slots in the tip for attaching skins, which should ensure a solid interface and speed up backcountry transitions.
When it comes to the down, ABS beam tech and fibreglass reinforcements look to add balance and stability on the descent giving it real deal all-round potential.
At just £445 it’s all looking super tasty – we’ll let you know how it goes when we finally get to take it for a spin.
Verdict
Ideal for newbies and experienced tourers alike, the Alpineer is an affordable touring ski designed to facilitate rapid progress in the backcountry.
