2026 Rossignol Arcade 94 Open Skis with Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings
The 2026 Rossignol Arcade 94 with Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings is a burly, directional all-mountain ski that blends hard-snow precision with enough width to keep you confident when the snow softens. Sitting at the top of the Arcade line in terms of waist width, it finds the middle ground between the power of the 88 and the playful flex of the 84, offering a powerful yet approachable ride that thrives on edge. We paired the Arcade 94 Open with the Strive 14 because of this binding’s well known reputation for safety, reliability, and ease of use. Featuring an LDN toe piece that optimizes contact and response, these bindings integrate seamlessly with boots and skis, allowing for a natural flex and balanced stance, making them the perfect choice to pair with this ski.
Why we like it:
This ski brings a refreshing traditional feel—tight turn initiation, precise edge control, and the kind of pop you only get from well-balanced metal-laminate construction.
Who it's for:
Ideal for advanced to expert directional skiers who prefer a traditional cambered platform and appreciate strong edge hold. If your style leans more toward carving trenches than slashing pow, the Arcade 94 will speak your language.
Highlights:
Rossignol equips the Arcade 94 with a unique construction featuring two layers of Titanal in the underfoot zone that boost torsional rigidity and edge grip while keeping the tips and tails metal-free for a touch of forgiveness. The result? A ski that grips with tenacity but doesn’t feel like a brick in bumps or tight terrain. A traditional shape, moderate width, and short turn radius make it highly responsive—especially on firm snow and groomed runs. The Strive 14 GW, with its lightweight build and low-profile chassis, delivers a smooth and responsive ride all day long. It remains nimble in deep snow and light on your feet as the day progresses. The LDN Toe Pieces offer a low stand height, optimizing power transfer and improving the connection to your skis. The Automatic Toe Adaption feature effortlessly adjusts to GripWalk boots without the need for manual adjustments. Additionally, the Snow Scrapers on the toe pieces effectively remove snow and ice, ensuring a secure fit that enhances both safety and performance for direct power transmission
Things to consider:
While slightly more supple at the extremities, the Arcade 94 is still a demanding ski that needs a skilled driver. It finishes turns with authority, so if you prefer a looser, surfy ride that releases easily, this might feel a bit too locked in.
Fit & sizing considerations:
These skis run slightly long due to their longer effective edge. Most skiers can confidently size down without sacrificing edge hold or stability.
