The Sender Free 118 from Rossignol is a freeride ski built to carve through deep snow and explore off-piste terrain. With its generous waist width and agile profile, this ski is geared toward riders who prioritize flotation and stability in powder conditions.
At 186 cm length, the Sender Free 118 sports a 118 mm waist flanked by 146 mm tip and 141 mm tail, giving it reliable floatation on soft snow. Its 25 m radius promotes smooth, sweeping turns at speed, while the flat mounting pattern lets you fine-tune your binding choice to match your riding style. Weighing in at about 2.5 kg per ski, it strikes a balance between bolstered stability in variable snow and enough maneuverability to keep the ski engaging on steeper slopes.
A ski’s turn radius is the theoretical arc it would draw on hard snow: a 25 m radius means the Sender Free 118 naturally favors longer, more stable turns rather than tight quick spins. The sidecut dimensions—146/118/141—refer to the width of the tip, waist, and tail in millimeters, which control how the ski sinks into powder and grips when you edge hard on firmer sections.
