2026 Rossignol Nova 14 Women's Skiswith Fischer RC 95W Boots and Poles

Top billing in Rossignol's Nova line goes to the Nova 14, a high-performance women's frontside ski built for strong, stable carving. It delivers a more refined and powerful ride than the rest of the collection, holding a line cleanly as speeds and forces build on groomed snow. Skiers with technique to spend will find it rewards every bit of input. We paired the Nova 14 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:

Advanced women who ski groomers hard and have the technique to drive a ski rather than ride it. It's the right call for former racers, instructors, and skiers who have outgrown the forgiving end of the women's frontside market.

Things to consider:

This is a demanding ski, and it needs to be skied to work; a skier who is tentative or still developing will find it stiff and unrewarding. Its narrow frontside build also has little to offer in soft snow or off-trail terrain.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Carving skis reward length because a longer edge holds a cleaner arc, so a confident skier should take the longer of two options. Only drop down if most of your skiing happens on short, tight trails where quickness matters more than stability.
