Not overload you with info.... but I struggled to get a hold of some of these skis last year given the popularity of some skis, such as the Rossi s7 - especially on a powder day. Plus every shop I know was sold out of the originals by early to mid season meaning you'd have to wait until end of year-demo-clearance or next year if you decided on it. As an alternative, a reputable local ski shop can accept returns, in some cases. They don't advertise it but I know that Rossi, and I believe Volkl, will accept a pair of returned skis from the shop if a customer bought it un-skied and absolutely hated it. Again, not something advertised, but worth asking if you're set on picking up a particular ski that will sell out and can't find a demo.
