Soul 102

The Soul 102 is a freeride ski from Rossignol for advanced and expert skiers, in bounds and beyond. Rossignol calls it the ultimate do-it-all freeride ski: it’s the best of the Sender Free 110 in a more all-round version, lighter for the backcountry and a better carver thanks to a shorter radius, with a more progressive rocker for an intuitive pivot.

Air Tip construction moves weight from the tips and tails to underfoot, which frees the ends to float and pivot, and a Titanal beam adds power, edge grip and rebound. It’s made in Europe, and Rossignol says its green epoxy cuts the carbon footprint by 8%. It’s 102 mm underfoot at 172 and 180 cm and 101 mm at 164 cm, the radius is 15 m at 164 cm and 17 m at 180 cm, and a pair weighs 1.9 kg at 164 cm.
