Sender Free 100 | 2026

The new 2026 Rossignol Sender Free 100 represents a deliberate return to playful freestyle skiing for the French brand. After receiving copious amounts of feedback on the widely popular Sender Free 110,  Rossignol identified a specific gap in their lineup. While the aggressive Super Black Ops 98 delivers a long effective edge and stiff construction for charging freeriders, the brand needed something more buttery and approachable in the 100-mm category.

At the heart of the Sender Free 100’s appeal is Rossignol’s Air Tip construction, which concentrates weight underfoot while reducing material in the tips and tails. This creates a deceptively light feel and low swing weight, making the ski incredibly snappy and responsive when you want to redirect or throw it sideways out of turns. For those who love to spin, this is an obvious advantage.

Initiating this ski requires some speed, but once committed, it holds confidently through the arc without feeling locked in. This isn’t a ski for aggressive, high-speed charging on steep, firm terrain, try the Sender Free 110 if that’s what you’re after.  Instead, the Sender Free 100 rewards a relaxed, neutral stance that encourages flowing between long, sweeping carves and quick pivots toward side hits or natural features.

Unlike the forward-driving character of the Sender Soul 102, the Free 100 thrives with a more surfy, undemanding approach that allows its inherent playfulness to shine. This accessibility makes it ideal for intermediate and advanced skiers who want to explore freestyle elements without sacrificing versatility.

The new Sender Free 100 succeeds in filling a specific niche—delivering a uniquely playful experience that prioritizes flow and creativity, making it an excellent choice for skiers who value versatility and fun over pure charging capability.
