The 2026 Rossignol Sender Soul 102 with NX 12 Konect GW bindings is a versatile freeride ski that blends modern all-mountain power with a playful, progressive feel. Sitting at the widest end of the all-mountain category, it's built to handle soft snow, mixed conditions, and strong resort laps with equal confidence.

Why we like it:

The Soul 102 balances stability and maneuverability in a way that feels intuitive from the first run. It has enough backbone to stay composed at speed, yet it remains quick and adaptable when terrain gets tight or variable.

Who it's for:

The Sender Soul 102 is ideal for advanced skiers who split their time between groomed trails, soft snow, and off-trail terrain. It suits directional skiers who still appreciate a ski that feels loose enough to slash, pivot, and adapt to changing conditions.

Highlights:

A poplar wood core keeps the ski lively and energetic while maintaining a predictable flex. Strategic reinforcement enhances torsional strength, which translates to better edge hold and stability when the pace picks up. The 102 mm waist width adds float in soft snow while remaining narrow enough to transition edge to edge with reasonable quickness on groomed terrain. A progressive rocker profile in the tip and tail improves maneuverability in soft snow and allows for easier release at the end of the turn, while camber underfoot maintains grip and rebound on firmer surfaces. The integrated NX 12 Konect GW binding system promotes solid power transfer and consistent release performance.

Things to consider:

At 102 mm underfoot, it favors soft snow and mixed terrain over pure hardpack carving. While it holds an edge well for its width, it will not feel as precise or quick edge to edge as a narrower frontside ski.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The Sender Soul 102 skis true to size. More aggressive riders who value stability in open terrain can choose at their typical freeride length, while those prioritizing quicker pivoting in tighter terrain may consider a slightly shorter option.
