Embark on all-mountain adventures with this pair of 2022 Rossignol Blackops Escaper skis, paired with dependable Look NX 12 GW bindings. The Blackops Escaper is a highly versatile and lightweight ski, designed for intermediate to advanced skiers who appreciate a nimble feel for exploring diverse terrain, from groomed trails to backcountry-curious ascents and playful descents in variable snow.
At 172cm, these skis offer a balanced blend of agility and stability, perfect for dynamic skiing. The ski's construction features a lightweight Paulownia Wood Core, which significantly reduces weight without sacrificing power or control. Diago Fiber reinforcements enhance torsional stiffness and responsiveness for precise turning. Rossignol's Damp Tech technology, integrated into the tip, actively absorbs vibrations and chatter, ensuring a smoother ride in unpredictable conditions. Air Tip technology lightens the tip and tail for improved maneuverability and reduced swing weight, while Extended Core increases ski-to-snow contact and torsional stability for enhanced precision. Rectangular Sidewall Construction provides direct power transmission and reliable edge grip throughout the turn. The Powder Rocker profile (medium tip rocker, low tail rocker, with camber underfoot) offers excellent float in softer snow, easy turn initiation, and a forgiving feel, while maintaining strong performance on firmer surfaces.
The included Look NX 12 GW bindings are a popular and reliable choice, offering a versatile DIN range of 3.5-12 and full compatibility with both traditional Alpine and GripWalk boot soles. Both the topsheets and bases are in very good condition, showing typical signs of use but well-maintained and ready to deliver many more days of exhilarating performance. This setup is ideal for skiers seeking a light, responsive, and highly capable all-mountain ski.
