Rossignol Skis: French Heritage, Modern Mountain Performance

From the French Alps to Aspen

Founded in the French Alps in 1907, Rossignol brings more than a century of ski-building experience to the mountain. That history is matched by a modern lineup that spans powerful carving skis, versatile all-mountain designs and playful freeride shapes.

For Hamilton Sports’ 2026–2027 Rossignol demo fleet, we’ve selected three distinctly different skis: the freeride-oriented Sender Free 100, the powerful and precise Arcade 88, and the women’s Soul 102 W for skiers looking for a wider, more playful all-mountain platform.

Together, they cover an enormous range of Aspen skiing—from early-morning corduroy and fast laps on Ajax to bumps, trees, bowls and fresh snow.

Our 2026–2027 Rossignol Ski Models in Our Aspen Rental Fleet

Rossignol Sender 100 Open

The Sender 100 Open brings a playful freeride personality to a width that’s exceptionally useful for everyday Aspen skiing. At 100mm underfoot, there’s enough ski for soft snow and off-piste terrain without making groomer laps feel like work.

This is the Rossignol for skiers who like to use the whole mountain. It feels at home moving between trees, bumps, crud, side hits and open terrain, with enough stability to let it run when the mountain opens up. SkiEssentials’ 2027 testing found the Sender 100 particularly versatile, with testers praising its maneuverability in trees and bumps, stability through variable snow and ability to carve confidently on firmer terrain.

In Aspen, that’s a recipe for a very good one-ski day. Start with groomers on Ajax, follow the snow into the trees, find what’s left from the last storm and keep skiing when afternoon conditions become chopped up and variable.

Best for: Intermediate through expert skiers; all-mountain freeride; trees, bumps and soft snow; skiers with a playful style.
Ideal terrain: Aspen Mountain bumps and side hits, Snowmass trees and bowls, Highlands and mixed off-piste terrain.
Why choose it: A versatile 100mm freeride ski that blends soft-snow capability, maneuverability and all-mountain performance.

Rossignol Arcade 88

The Arcade 88 sits at the more precise, carving-oriented end of Hamilton Sports’ Rossignol lineup. At 88mm underfoot, it’s wide enough to deal with changing mountain conditions but clearly happiest when you’re putting the ski on edge and letting it work.

Rossignol builds the Arcade 88 around a poplar wood core with LCT, Titanal reinforcement, full sidewalls and vibration-damping technology. The result is a strong, composed ski with serious edge grip and plenty of energy coming out of a turn. Independent 2027 testing similarly found the Arcade 88 particularly strong on groomers, with testers highlighting its quick edge-to-edge feel, stability and carving performance.

Think cold morning corduroy on Aspen Mountain, fast laps on Snowmass or those afternoons when the groomers have been skied hard and you want a ski that still feels planted and predictable.

Best for: Advanced and expert skiers; carving; groomers; firm snow; skiers who appreciate precision and power.
Ideal terrain: Aspen Mountain groomers, Snowmass cruisers, Buttermilk corduroy and firm mixed conditions.
Why choose it: Powerful edge grip and energetic carving performance with enough width to handle more than perfectly groomed snow.

Rossignol Soul 102 W

The Soul 102 W brings something completely different to Hamilton Sports’ women’s Rossignol offering. It’s a wider all-mountain freeride ski designed for women who want to move easily between soft snow, trees, mixed conditions and the groomers that connect it all.

Rossignol combines a poplar wood core, Air Tip technology, a Titanal Beam, full sidewall construction and tip-and-tail rocker to balance maneuverability and flotation with stability and edge control. Rossignol describes the Soul W 102 as a ski that can cruise, charge, carve and float depending on where the snow takes you.

That versatility carries over to independent testing. SkiEssentials found the 2027 Soul W 102 especially agile for a ski of its width, with a useful combination of soft-snow playfulness, carving ability and stability in variable conditions.

For Aspen, it’s a compelling choice for the woman who doesn’t want her ski—or her day—defined by a single type of terrain.

Best for: Advanced-intermediate through expert women; all-mountain freeride; powder, trees and mixed conditions.
Ideal terrain: Snowmass trees and bowls, Aspen Highlands, soft-snow days on Ajax and variable off-piste terrain.
Why choose it: A wider, playful women’s ski that offers real soft-snow capability without giving up the ability to carve its way back to the lift.
