2027 Rossignol Sender 110

For 2027, the Rossignol Sender 110 gets a new name and graphic but returns otherwise unchanged. Rossignol has separated their freeride lines into Sender and Soul, with the Senders being the more freeride and twin-tipped skis of the group. It makes sense and simplifies the overall lineup of skis. With the same strong construction and playful shape, the Sender 110 returns as a fan-favorite—capable of being used in high end freeride competitions as well as normal resort soft snow skiing.

We’ve really enjoyed the blend of smoothness and energy from this ski’s construction. This Sender 110 is built using a full poplar core. We’re also getting their Titanal Beam that adds stability and power to the ski, especially in the underfoot zone. To balance that damp feeling, they also use their Carbon Alloy Matrix to add power and pop. This cross-hatching of carbon and basalt fibers makes for a snappy feel that adds to the lighter swing weight and the fantastic snap that comes out of each turn. If you’re looking for float, the Air Tip keeps the front of the ski up and out of the snow, allowing for maximum flotation with a lighter weight feel. That said, it’s got some heft to it, tipping the scales at 2250 grams per ski in the 184 cm length. Tester Christian Strong notes: “I really liked this ski, I bet it's great in true powder, but it was a hardpack day, and they can actually carve too. Very smooth in all radius turns. I think this is a versatile ski that would be excellent in nice soft powder. Floaty!”

These fat and fun freeride skis are ideally suited for creative skiing in deeper snow. In terms of shaping, this ski most certainly falls into the wide twin tip category, and we’re all about it. At 110 mm underfoot, the 140 mm tips and 133 mm tails generate a 20-meter turn radius, keeping the ski drifty and smeary no matter the conditions or terrain. With only a 7 mm difference between tips and tails, this ski is symmetrical and balanced—two things that add a lot of flavor to this already spicy ski. As a twin tip, we’re seeing some decent, although not super-dramatic rocker and splay. The tips and tails are similar, again leading to that balanced and symmetrical feel and character. Switch riding is a breeze thanks to this shape and profile, unleashing the creative aspect of many skiers’ wants and dreams. Tester Collin Wiedersheim notes that it’s “A do it all freeride weapon. Rossignol has a winner with the Sender 110. Want to go fast through anything? Want a fun powder ski? Or want to be a freeride world tour champion? Grab a Sender 110. A stalwart in the freeride powder ski category. It’s a fantastic do-it-all option. You can even take it into the park if you’re so inclined. I will be thinking about my runs on the Sender 110 for a long time, and that to me is a mark of a truly great ski.”

This ski has resonated with the freeride competition category. It’s already had competitive success, and now it’s time to take those results and move them into the mainstream. Rossignol does a great job of combining forces with their already successful skis and creating something interesting and different for a variety of skiers. While it’s best suited for advanced and expert skiers who find themselves in steep, challenging, and deep snow most of the time, there’s some real-world recreational applications here as well. For us here in Vermont, this is a bit more specific of a ski for deeper days, and that’s okay. When you do choose to take them out, you’ll be rewarded with an amazing blend of flotation, playfulness, and creativity. With a balanced and symmetrical feel, these skis will help boost the limits of any modern freeride skier.
