2026 Rossignol Sender Free 100 Open Skis with Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings
The 2026 Rossignol Sender Free 100 with Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings is a progressive, park-friendly twin tip that blends playful energy with legitimate all-mountain chops. Built for skiers who want to bounce between groomers, trees, and terrain park features, it’s the kind of ski that keeps your lines fresh and your ride lively from first chair to last lap. We paired the ski 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:
There’s real versatility under the hood here—whether you’re launching side hits, carving corduroy, or popping through soft snow, the Sender Free 100 delivers a smooth, responsive feel that’s hard not to love.
Who it's for:
Best suited for strong intermediate to expert skiers with a freestyle-inspired mindset. If your idea of fun includes mixing in tricks, switching up turn shapes, and using the whole mountain as your playground, this ski has your name on it.
Highlights:
Rossignol brings together tech and creativity in a seamless package: a lively poplar wood core pairs with a Carbon Alloy Matrix and basalt stringers for strength and rebound, while the Air Tip and full sidewall construction enhance maneuverability and grip. A more symmetrical shape and forward mount point make switch skiing feel natural, and the integrated vibration absorption system smooths out the ride for confidence at speed and in variable snow. 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:
With a more center-mounted stance and softer tips, the Sender Free 100 rewards a neutral or balanced skiing style. If you're used to aggressively driving your skis from the front seat, it might take a few runs to adjust your rhythm.
Fit & sizing considerations:
These skis run true to size. Stick with your usual length for all-around balance or size up slightly if you prioritize high-speed stability in open terrain.
