Rossignol Race 171 VAS

[J.McD.]

I'm new to both this forum and to carving. I came across a Rossignol race VAS 171 and bought it a year ago before I even began my transition to hardbooting. It is silver and white in color and i wanted to know if anyone had an idea of how old it is. Any other thoughts on the board would be appreciated as well. I'm digging my Donek Axis 177 and want to get out on this Rossignol soon. I'm assuming that this is a very stiff board and will be harder to ride than my Axis.

Good board. I think it a 96 or 97 vintage.

Thats what i thought. It's in really nice shape. The base is clean and no marks on the top sheet. I probobly paid more than i should have at $200.00 bucks but we almost never see alpine gear in my area so I snatched it up. Thanks for the info.
