The 2027 Rossignol Arcade 80 W with Xpress 10 bindings is an approachable, confidence-inspiring ski designed for women progressing on groomed terrain. With an 80 mm waist and lightweight construction, it blends stability and agility in a setup that makes every turn feel easier.

Why we like it:

It offers a forgiving yet supportive ride that builds confidence fast. The Arcade 80 is light underfoot, quick edge-to-edge, and easy to grow with across seasons.

Who it's for:

Beginner to intermediate women skiers seeking a frontside-focused ski with a balanced feel. Perfect for progressing comfortably on green and blue terrain with room to grow into higher speeds and steeper pitches.

Highlights:

The 80 mm waist provides a touch more platform than narrower entry-level skis, adding stability and smoother edge transitions. Its poplar wood core keeps weight down while offering enough responsiveness for linking consecutive turns. With a 13-meter radius at 166 cm, the Arcade 80 favors short-to-medium turns that feel natural and controlled. Paired with Rossignol’s Xpress 10 GW bindings, the system is fully GripWalk compatible and impressively lightweight at just 3.2 kg per pair. A great setup for skiers looking to move confidently into their next phase.

Things to consider:

This ski is built for frontside conditions, and it’s not ideal for variable snow or aggressive terrain. Riders looking for a higher-performance option should consider moving up to a more advanced all-mountain model.

Fit & sizing considerations:

True to size. Skis best when sized to chin-to-nose height for optimal control and progression.
