Men's SOUL 92 OPEN

The Rossignol Soul 92 is a new-for-2027 all-mountain ski that narrows the Soul platform into a quick, mixed-terrain option. Its 92 mm waist is easier to roll edge to edge on groomers than the Soul 102, while tip and tail rocker keep bumps, trees and soft snow in reach. The Open version is sold flat, so the buyer chooses bindings and mounting rather than receiving a fixed system package.

A poplar core, central Titanal Beam and Line Control Technology give the middle of the ski a firm, connected feel. Rossignol pairs that structure with Air Tip to lower swing weight, full sidewalls for edge transmission, and a progressive sidecut. SkiEssentials testers describe strong grip and front-driven power with a softer shovel that accepts skier input; a neutral stance makes it maneuverable, while the rocker profile should help it float. The tail and underfoot flex are relatively stout, so it prefers deliberate pressure over passive steering.

Pick it for an intermediate-to-expert skier who wants one ski for carving, bumps and moderate soft snow, especially when a 100-plus waist feels excessive. It is more piste-friendly and nimble than a wider freeride ski, but still more forgiving and exploratory than a race-derived carver. The compromise is reduced float in deep snow and less planted calm than a heavier, more damp model when speed and chop rise. Skiers seeking a loose, surfy twin-tip feel may also find its directional shape and firm tail more serious than expected.
