After years of tinkering with the Blackops and Sender lines, Rossignol has combined the best attributes of both and workshopped this brainchild into one of the most popular freeride skis on the market.
There are a few notable features in the construction of this ski. The progressive sidecut and twin rocker deliver a cambered, stable ride underfoot with a softer tip and tail that can smear easily. Rossi’s Air Tip technology gets credit for the playful feel of the Sender Free 110 tip. Inside the ski, Rossignol utilizes its Line Control Technology—a strip of metal that runs through the direct center of the ski. This adds torsional rigidity to the core, making the ski feel more predictable and consistent when charging through firm conditions.
“Yes, it’s cliche to say this, but this ski really is a freeride quiver killer,” said one of our testers. “For big dumps, soft chop, hard pack, mashed potatoes—you name it. Whatever it is, grab the Sender Free 110, and you’ll be good to go.”
This ski has become the weapon of choice for a variety of rippers. You may have seen Oscar Mandin and Marcus Goguen utilizing it on the Freeride World Tour, taking on huge airs and shutting down speed in a heartbeat from Kicking Horse to Georgia. Or perhaps you saw the unmistakable speed and style of Parker White utilizing this ski to crush Pacific Northwest pow at the legendary Mount Baker. Whatever the case, it’s evident that the Sender Free 110 has no problem going huge and breaking the sound barrier.
