Description & Features
2027 Rossignol HERO Athlete GS skis are built for competitive U16 athletes racing giant slalom. Developed from Rossignol’s World Cup race program, this GS ski delivers powerful edge grip, stability at speed, and precise control through long-radius turns.
Line Control Technology (LCT) eliminates counter-flexing to maintain smooth ski contact with the snow and a consistent trajectory through each turn. A wood core, Titanal reinforcement, and rectangular full sidewall construction combine to provide strong edge hold, stability, and energy transfer for developing racers pushing their speed on GS courses.

Construction & Technology
Line Control Technology (LCT)
LCT integrates a central power rail from tip to tail, eliminating counter-flexing. This maintains consistent ski contact with the snow for smoother stability and precise control through the turn.
Cascade Tip
Cascade Tip uses staggered layers of metal and fiberglass in the tip to reduce swing weight and control torsional flex, improving turn initiation and precision.
Titanal Construction
Titanal laminates increase torsional rigidity and damping, delivering stronger edge grip and stability at high speeds.
Rectangular Sidewall
Rectangular full sidewall construction combines layered core materials with vertical sidewalls to maximize edge grip, precision, and power transmission.
Wood Core
The wood core provides natural dampness and stability while maintaining consistent energy transfer through each turn.
Oversized Sidecut
An oversized sidecut profile increases tip flare and effective edge contact, improving carving precision and acceleration exiting the turn.
On-Trail Rocker
Traditional camber through most of the ski delivers powerful edge grip and rebound, while a subtle rocker in the tip allows smoother turn initiation and better control.
