New for the 2027/26 season, the Rossignol Ultra Skate is designed to make skate skiing more accessible without sacrificing performance. With a wider sidecut and stable platform, it offers a forgiving ride for those honing their technique or seeking a reliable training partner.

Why we like it:

It brings race-inspired construction to a more approachable design, making it ideal for skiers progressing in the sport.

Who it's for:

Perfect for beginner to intermediate skate skiers looking for a stable, easy-to-control ski that still delivers on glide and responsiveness.

Highlights:

The Ultra Skate features a wider waist and sidecut, enhancing stability and balance, especially beneficial for those new to skate skiing. Its construction draws from Rossignol's race-proven technologies, ensuring efficient energy transfer and glide. Paired with Race Skate bindings, this setup offers a cohesive and responsive experience on groomed trails.

Things to consider:

While excellent for developing skiers, those seeking top-tier race performance might find it less aggressive than higher-end models.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Available in lengths from 173 to 192 cm, sizing should correspond to skier weight and skill level. The ski's design allows for a slightly shorter length choice for increased maneuverability without compromising glide.
