The Vintage Rossignol Mountain Dew "Do The Dew" Limited Edition snow skis represent a rare find for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Measuring 190cm in length, these skis are offered in New Old Stock (NOS) condition, preserving the original factory wrap and graphics. This model combines Rossignol’s rich heritage with a unique limited-edition design, making it a valuable addition to any vintage ski collection or a distinctive piece for display.
Brand and Model Context
Rossignol, founded in 1907 by Abel Rossignol in Voiron, France, is one of the most historically significant ski manufacturers in the world. From its origins as a small workshop crafting wooden skis, Rossignol evolved into a dominant force in alpine skiing, particularly noted for its racing pedigree. The brand has been associated with more World Cup victories than any other manufacturer, underscoring its reputation for performance and innovation.
The Mountain Dew "Do The Dew" Limited Edition ski is a special release that reflects Rossignol’s ability to blend cultural elements with ski design. While not a racing model, this ski carries the brand’s hallmark quality and craftsmanship. It is 190cm long and features distinctive top sheet graphics tied to the Mountain Dew branding, making it a standout collector’s item. The skis are part of a limited production run, enhancing their rarity and appeal to investment-grade collectors.
Rossignol’s legacy includes iconic models such as the Strato series, which helped define modern recreational skis in the 1960s with their layered wood and composite construction. Although the Mountain Dew "Do The Dew" skis are from a later era, they continue the tradition of combining performance with distinctive design. This model also appeals to enthusiasts interested in vintage ski culture, including those who appreciate the intersection of sport and pop culture.
Condition and Details
These Vintage Rossignol Mountain Dew "Do The Dew" skis are offered in New Old Stock (NOS) condition, meaning they have never been used on snow and retain their original factory wrap. The skis are undrilled, preserving their integrity for collectors or riders who prefer to customize bindings. Minor imperfections include a small scrape and a single ding on the edge of one ski’s top sheet, as well as slight rust on the edges. The rust is superficial and can be easily tuned or filed off to restore the edges to perfect condition.
Serial number 140334 identifies this specific pair, confirming its authenticity and place within the limited edition run. At 190cm, these skis are well suited for lighter weight skiers looking for a responsive bump ski. The recommendation is to pair them with pivot bindings for optimal performance on the slopes.
Beyond their functional use, these skis serve as excellent display pieces for ski museums, collectors’ showcases, or themed environments such as home pubs and man caves. Their factory wrap and original graphics contribute to their museum-quality status, and their connection to both Rossignol’s French alpine heritage and Mountain Dew’s branding adds cultural significance.
