Rossignol Sender 110 Review: A Freeride Twin Tip That Floats and Plays

Introduction

The Rossignol Sender 110 returns for the 2027 season structurally unchanged, but with a fresh new graphic update. That continuity is no surprise: this is a ski you see all over the Freeride World Tour and across countless freeride edits, and for good reason. It floats extremely well in soft snow while carrying a freestyle twin tip mentality into bigger, more serious terrain.

Who This Ski Is For

The Sender 110 is aimed at freestyle-minded skiers who want to take their tricks and creativity into softer snow and bigger freeride terrain. It is a directional twin tip rather than a symmetrical one, but its mount point sits further forward than some other skis in the category, such as the Salomon QST Blank, so it feels comfortable enough for switch landings and freestyle-style riding.

Construction and Build

Under the hood, the Sender 110 uses a poplar wood core with titanal added for stability and vibration damping, especially right underfoot. That titanal layer also helps with binding retention and edge grip on the variable, windswept surfaces you often encounter in freeride terrain.

On top of the core, Rossignol adds its carbon alloy matrix, while Air Tip in the tips keeps swing weight down so freeride and freestyle maneuvers feel quicker and easier.

In the 184cm length, this ski weighs 2,260g. That is not super heavy for a 110mm-underfoot ski, though lighter and heavier options both exist. On the snow, they do not feel that heavy either: the twin tip shape and exaggerated rocker profile make them very maneuverable and easy to change direction with, more so than the weight would suggest.

Flex and Shape

The flex is pretty supportive with an even, very round pattern throughout, making it predictable from tip to tail. A much stiffer tail would make riding switch into a big backcountry jump feel odd, but the balanced feel here is exactly what brings that freestyle influence into freeride applications. There is still forgiveness and playfulness in the flex.

In terms of shape, the 110mm waist twin tip gets a lot of rocker: a substantial amount in the tip, solid camber underfoot, and plenty in the tail, though slightly less than the tip. The camber helps with edge grip on icy, windswept snow and stores potential energy when loading up on a jump or lip, adding noticeable amplitude on release. The rocker in the tail makes it super easy to release, slash, and smear, giving the ski a swirly, maneuverable character.

What Testers Said

One tester noted that his first impression was how light and maneuverable the ski felt for its width. It did not have the damp, planted feel of heavier skis, but it immediately stood out as quick and easy to control, intuitive right away for such a wide platform, and versatile and fun in softer conditions. At 2,260g it is not actually light, which makes that agility all the more impressive while the ski still keeps a beefy feel when you need it.

Buying Advice

If your riding blends freestyle tricks, slashing turns, and big-terrain freeride lines, the Sender 110 makes a lot of sense. It rewards skiers who value maneuverability and playfulness over the heavy, damp planted feel of a more charging-oriented ski.

Conclusion

The Rossignol Sender 110 remains one of the most recognizable freeride twin tips around, and with good reason. Its combination of soft-snow float, balanced flex, low swing weight, and surprising agility for its weight makes it a compelling pick for freestyle-influenced freeride skiers.
