Bold zebra graphics on a proven freeride chassis define the Rossignol Savage Free, a limited-edition women's freeride ski built on the Soul 102 platform. Made for intermediate and advanced women who want to express themselves on the mountain, this ski combines a lightweight, agile build with the float and playfulness that comes with a wider waist and twin rocker shape. It's an everyday freeride ski with a whole lot of personality.

Why we like it:

The graphics are the obvious draw, but what makes the Savage Free worth skiing is the twin rocker. Where the standard Soul 102 uses tip-and-tail rocker for an all-mountain feel, the twin rocker on the Savage Free leans into the playful, smearable side of the ski's personality, making it more eager to drift, butter, and pivot.

Who it's for:

Intermediate and advanced women skiers who want a freeride ski with personality, made for skiers who like a playful, maneuverable feel and want a ski that stands out as much in the lift line as on the snow.

Highlights:

Underneath the zebra graphic is a serious freeride build. A PEFC poplar wood core supplies the lively flex, and a central titanal beam underfoot gives the Savage Free the kind of grip and predictability that lets it carve when you want it to. Air Tip insert technology drops swing weight at the front of the ski, making turn initiation quick and float effortless even for lighter skiers. Rectangular full sidewall construction keeps the edges fully engaged through the carve, and twin rocker plus progressive sidecut shaping deliver the playful, surfable feel that defines the Black Ops and Soul lineage. The Vibration Absorption System and Line Control Technology add stability when conditions firm up or get cut up. With turn radii ranging from 14 m to 18 m across the size run, the ski stays nimble and quick in a variety of turn shapes.

Things to consider:

This is a limited-release ski, so production runs and inventory may be tight. The twin rocker and wider 102 mm waist mean this is a soft-snow-leaning freeride ski rather than a frontside carver. Skiers who want more on-trail capability should look at the Soul 92 W.

Fit & sizing considerations:

True to length for a freeride ski. Lighter skiers or those wanting more agility can drop a length, while skiers prioritizing speed and float on powder days can bump up.
