The Rossignol Sender Free 100 is a modern all-mountain freestyle ski that blends playful twin tip energy with enough backbone for aggressive resort skiing. Sitting in the middle of the Sender Free collection, it balances float, versatility, and stability in a 100 mm platform that feels at home just about anywhere, from soft snow to the park to chopped-up afternoon conditions. This is a directional twin built for skiers who want to explore the whole mountain with a creative approach.

Why we like it:

We like how well this ski mixes looseness and composure. It feels easy to pivot and smear when the snow softens up, yet it stays planted when speeds climb or when the terrain gets tracked out. There is enough pop to make side hits and natural features fun, but it still holds a clean line when you tip it over on firmer trails.

Who it's for:

It is best suited for intermediate to advanced skiers who split their time between groomers, soft snow, trees, and natural features. Freestyle-minded riders who want a playful feel without giving up directional stability will find the sweet spot here, especially those skiing primarily inbounds but wanting all-mountain freedom.

Highlights:

A lightweight wood core keeps the ski energetic and responsive, giving it a lively feel when loading and releasing through turns. Air Tip shaping in the tip reduces swing weight, which makes quick direction changes in trees and bumps feel easier and more intuitive. Damping layers integrated into the construction smooth out vibrations, so the ski remains composed when conditions turn firm or choppy. The progressive rocker profile adds float in softer snow while maintaining enough camber underfoot to generate solid edge grip on groomed trails. Its 100 mm waist provides a stable platform that bridges hardpack performance and soft snow capability without feeling sluggish edge to edge.

Things to consider:

The playful shape and twin tip design mean it does not feel as locked in on icy surfaces as a more directional, metal-laminate ski. Heavier or very aggressive skiers may find that it reaches its stability limit at very high speeds in rough snow. While it can handle powder days, it is not a dedicated deep snow tool.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The Sender Free 100 skis true to size with a balanced feel between stability and maneuverability. Skiers who value quickness in trees and bumps can size slightly shorter for a more nimble ride. Those who prioritize stability at speed or who ski aggressively in open terrain may prefer to size up.
