Rossignol 2024 Experience W 86 Basalt 148cm Womens Skis w/NX 12 Konect GW Bindings

The 2024 Rossignol Experience 86 Basalt Women’s ski blends precision, stability, and lightness into a true all-mountain performer. At 86 mm underfoot, it strikes an ideal middle ground: it’s narrow enough for quick, responsive carving on firm snow, yet wide enough to stay composed when the conditions get variable. Whether you’re linking turns on corduroy or venturing just off the trail, this ski is built to keep up. Why we like it: It’s a smooth and confidence-inspiring ride that feels light underfoot while still packing enough punch to handle higher speeds and more aggressive skiing. Who it's for: Designed for intermediate to advanced women skiers, the Experience 86 Basalt is a versatile daily driver. It’s an excellent choice for those who want one ski that performs equally well on groomers and in mixed terrain without feeling heavy or demanding. Highlights: The paulownia wood core keeps weight to a minimum, giving the ski a nimble and agile personality. Basalt fibers damp vibrations and deliver a quiet, stable ride, even on icy mornings. Rossignol’s Drive Tip solution enhances turn initiation and control, while the extended sidecut and rectangular sidewalls provide excellent grip and edge hold at speed. Tip and tail rocker add forgiveness and adaptability, making the ski comfortable in changing snow conditions. Things to consider: While the basalt reinforcement provides smoothness and balance, skiers who want the maximum dampness and horsepower of a metal ski may prefer a model with Titanal. This ski is about versatility and approachability, not brute force.
