2025 Rossignol Experience 86 Basalt Women's Skiswith Fischer RC 95W Boots and Poles

Lightweight agility and a smooth ride define the Rossignol Experience 86 Basalt W, a women's all-mountain ski built for everyday resort skiing. At 86 mm underfoot it's wide enough to handle varied conditions while staying quick and precise when the run is groomed. Skiers who want one pair for the whole week get a stable, approachable platform that keeps up as conditions shift. We paired the Experience 86 Basalt with the Fischer RC 95W GW Ski Boots because it’s a great option for skiers who want a precise, energetic feel without stepping into a full-on race boot. The 95 flex provides strong support and responsiveness for driving modern frontside and all-mountain skis, while Fischer’s RC fit delivers a secure, performance-focused connection for improved edging and control. GripWalk compatibility adds extra convenience for walking in the lodge or parking lot, making this a smart pairing for skiers who want high-performance power with everyday practicality.

Who it's for:

Intermediate women who want one pair of skis for a whole week of mixed conditions. It fits skiers who ski groomers most of the time but want a ski that copes when the surface changes.

Things to consider:

A lighter ski gives away some damping at speed, and a strong skier pushing hard through cut-up snow will notice it moving around. It's an all-rounder, so it won't match a dedicated carver on hard snow or a wider ski in deep powder.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Take the length that matches your height for a balanced feel across conditions. Women who ski mostly groomed trails can shorten up for quicker turns, while a longer length pays off for anyone who regularly skis at speed or in soft snow.
