Like-New Condition! The 2027 Rossignol Arcade 88 with Demo bindings is built around the snow you find rather than the snow you hoped for. Charge groomers and generate high edge angles, or wiggle through your favorite glades; either way this is the weapon of choice, and the combination of a burly construction and a versatile shape is impossible to replicate. Demo bindings are the adaptable part of this package, built to take a wide range of boot sizes.

Why we like it:

Precise and powerful, forgiving and intuitive: the way the Arcade 88 holds opposing characteristics together is truly remarkable.

Who it's for:

Advanced to expert skiers who want a ski fit for any condition, with the emphasis landing on carving performance.

Highlights:

A full poplar wood core carries an ABS LCT strip, or Line Control Technology, running vertically down the length of the ski to bolster longitudinal stiffness. Titanal laminates span the full length and width, boosting torsional stiffness for edge grip and damping vibration, and together they're what deliver the Arcade's carving performance. An 88 mm waist keeps the whole thing quick underfoot, and rectangular sidewalls running the full length of the ski add to the longitudinal stiffness while transferring power straight to the edges. A demo binding tops it off, with adjustability that accommodates a broad range of boot sole lengths.

Things to consider:

The Arcade 88 is a groomer-oriented resort ski that has some off-groomer capability. If you're planning to spend half or most of your time off the groomers, there are better options out there with more float and maneuverability.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Sizing is simple on this one, because the Arcade 88 skis true to size.
