Rossignol Soul 92 Open Skis 2027

The Ski

The Rossignol Soul 92 Open is the newest model in the Soul family, and it slots right into the sweet spot between a dedicated carver and a true freeride ski. A 92mm waist keeps it quick edge-to-edge on firm morning snow, and the tip-and-tail rocker opens things up when you drop into softer stuff. It's not a big-mountain charger and it's not a race ski. It's the ski that actually fits how most of us ski — a few groomed laps, a detour through the trees, whatever the day throws at you.

Who it's For

Solid intermediates through advanced skiers who want one ski that does the whole mountain. The progressive sidecut rewards anyone working on their carving, and the twin rocker forgives the moments when your technique isn't perfect. If you push hard on firm snow all day and never leave the groomers, the men's ski lineup has more dedicated frontside options worth a look. But if your typical run mixes groomed pitch, a mogul or two, and the occasional soft shot through the trees, the Soul 92 handles all of it without complaint.

Tech that Matters

Air Tip: Reduces weight at the very tip of the ski, concentrating mass underfoot. Less swing weight means faster pivots and a more surfy feel when you're not locked into a carved arc.

Titanal Beam: A strip of aluminum alloy runs underfoot through the core. It stiffens the ski longitudinally without adding weight across the whole ski, so you get power transmission in a turn without a dead, heavy feel.

Poplar PEFC Core: PEFC-certified poplar wood keeps the ski light and lively. It's not the densest core material out there, so the 166 and 174 especially feel easy to throw around — the 182 fills out a bit more underfoot.

V-A-S (Vibration Absorption System): Damps the chatter that builds on variable or chopped-up snow. You feel the terrain, but the ski doesn't bounce you off it.

Sintered HD Base: Holds wax longer and glides better than extruded. Bring it in for a hot wax before the season and it'll stay fast.
