David, I saw the link from MikePow (Gday Mike) and he has given you the forum that I started. Do what Mike said and follow the link. I had pretty much the same questions as you and the members here were really helpful. Cheers Cam

I've bought already and the pain of negative cashflow doesn't seem like it's going to disappear soon. This season so far has seen skis, boots, poles, jacket and an itch that has now been scratched to go to Japan. Next on the hit list will be a travel bag for the gear and a helmet for the trees and probably some new goggles. The Dragons I have are good and vision is crisp but too narrow - lose too much peripheral.

Good info. Thanks MikePow.

It seems my post has now become a chatroom............ I have another query now. My wife - Danni, doesn't have her own skis but she has been testing the Rossignol Attraxion 8's for the past couple of seasons and is fairly convinced that this the ski for her. We are debating whether to buy now to take to Niseko or do you know if there good retail over there where we might find these or something similar?

Thanks Mamabear. I get the impression the world is a lot smaller than I think and you 'old buggers' know each other to well. MikePow thanks for the + 1.

True that............but first impressions are usually the right ones and you and Mamabear have been quick to give feedback.

Done, sold, locked in. Thanks for the info.

Thanks Guys, the rental cost is a big consideration too. We are going for 10 days and I had intended to stick to the piste to get my ski legs in for the first few days before tackling the good stuff, especially not having skied powder like this before. My main concern was I had been given feedback from other sources that taking mine would be a waste of time as the snow on piste was too soft for my size ski. I would be gutted having gone that far (Oz - Japan) and left behind a ski that I was totally tuned into and could comfortably use on piste. Chriselle you said your choice would change

Hi All & Anyone, My wife and I are going to Niseko for the first time in Feb 2013 and needless to say it can't come quick enough. After testing this ski as a demo in the last 2 years I purchased a new pair of 2011 Rossignol Zenith Z76 (127/76/108) in a 170 cm length for this season in Aus and I have not been disappointed, it is an awesome ski. We have now booked to go to Niseko in Feb 2013 and I would really want to take these with me but need some feedback from anyone who has been there as to how this ski will stand up - in particular the width and 76 mm. In the forums I have read t
