The all-new 2026 Rossignol Arcade 88 W with Marker Squire 11 Bindings is a high-performance women’s ski that takes proven race construction and applies it to a more versatile all-mountain shape. Designed for confident, advanced skiers who demand powerful edge grip with the freedom to explore beyond the groomers, the Arcade 88 W is fast, responsive, and ready to rip. We paired the Arcade 88 Open Women's with the Marker Squire 11 because of the Squire’s high performance and dependability for lighter weight all mountain and freeride skiers. With a light weight construction and a safe, reliable release, the Squire 11 is a go to choice to keep performance high and weight low.

Why we like it:

It’s rare to find a ski that can dig deep into high-speed carves and still pivot smoothly through trees and mixed terrain—this one nails it.

Who it's for:

Built for advanced to expert women skiers who value frontside power and precision but want a bit more versatility than a pure carving ski. It’s ideal for resort chargers who want control and energy across changing conditions.

Highlights:

Under the hood, Rossignol packs the Arcade 88 W with a poplar wood core and LCT (Line Control Technology), giving it a composed, stable platform at speed. Full-width titanal laminates add edge hold and dampness, while rectangular sidewalls run the full length for direct energy transmission and confidence-inspiring grip. With a waist width that bridges frontside precision and off-piste maneuverability, the Arcade 88 W is poised for performance from the first chair to the last lap. Marker’s Triple Pivot Light 2 Toe and Hollow Linkage Heel systems work in tandem to provide powerful energy transmission to the ski, allowing for maximum edge grip and control of the ski. Lighter weight skiers can rest easy knowing the Squire 11 will be easier than ever to step into thanks to a re-designed heel piece. Perhaps the most underappreciated feature of the Squire 11 is the anti-ice rail, which sits on top of the toepiece and can be used to scrape the sole of your boots clean before stepping in.

Things to consider:

The Arcade 88 W leans heavily toward hardpack and groomers—if you’re spending a lot of time chasing powder or diving into tight glades, something wider or more rockered might be a better match.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These skis run true to size, though many women can size down slightly for quicker handling without giving up stability.
