Rossignol Bandit B4 Alpine Ski
The Rossignol Bandit B4 joins the Bandit line-up where the B3 sat in the past, with the same dimensions as the former B3 (122/94/112mm). Don't fret, B3 lovers, the B4 is as rock-solid as your favorite ride of old. The B4 is focused on steep lines, deep pow, and mach speed. Featuring Rossi's FAT Free Absorber Technology, which integrates an aluminum plate and vibration dampening materials into the ski, the B4 turns with edge-to-edge precision and responsiveness. With a solid 94mm underfoot, not only do you get incredible float but also nice wide landing pads. Should you find yourself billy-goating around Alta, it'll turn on a dime, so you can straightline between that big rock and the dead tree. Thick sidewalls and continuous edges give you added peace of mind both in the backcountry and inbounds.

Training Tips
When buying a new pair of running shoes, bring your old ones with you. You will get a better fit if you know if you supinate or pronate.
Heart monitors are useful for knowing when you are in the right zone for your training efforts. If you understand what your maximum heart rate is, you can set up your monitor to beep at you when you exceed the high or low range of your heart rate for the type of workout you are doing.
Cross training gives your body a chance to recover while still exercising. If yesterday has a hard run day up and down hills, then today's bicycle ride gives your aching knees a well deserved break.
Anaeroic threshold is when lactic acid starts to build up in your body as your muscles are not getting the oxygen they require. This threshold is typically expressed as a percentage of your VO2 max - the amount of oxygen per kilogram of weight that a person can use in converting fuel to energy. Elite athletes threshold might be as high as 90% of VO2 max.
