2027 Rossignol Arcade 78 Skis with Fischer Premio 80 HV Boots and Poles

Frontside skiing is where the Rossignol Arcade 78 lives, and it makes no apologies about it. A 78 mm waist and a light, forgiving layup let developing skiers roll from edge to edge without much ankle strength, and the shape holds a clean line on firm morning corduroy. The package ships with Xpress 10 GW bindings included. Skiers working past the early intermediate stage get stability without a ski that demands to be driven hard. [boot PKG overview]

Who it's for:

Skiers working past the early intermediate stage who want a frontside ski that gives stability without demanding to be driven. It suits people skiing groomed runs regularly and building toward consistent carved turns.

Things to consider:

The forgiving build has a natural limit, and a skier who starts carrying real speed will want something with more backbone. As a frontside ski, it isn't built for soft snow or off-trail terrain.

Fit & sizing considerations:

A length at or slightly below the skier's height keeps this ski easy to manage while still holding an edge. Developing skiers generally benefit from the shorter option, since finishing a turn cleanly is what builds the next level of technique.
