Overview

The women's Rossignol Arcade 88 Open is a firm-snow focused all-mountain ski with more reach into bumps and chopped resort snow than a narrow carver. Its 88 mm waist, modest rocker and directional shape keep the ski frontside-oriented, while the Open flat package lets the buyer select bindings and mounting separately.

A thick poplar core, Titanal construction, LCT, VAS damping and full sidewalls create a powerful platform with direct edge transmission. The 148–178 cm range keeps a consistent 135/88/124 outline, with radii from 11 to 15 metres. The build favors a calm, energetic carve and should stay composed in rough piste snow; the limited taper and restrained rocker preserve contact but make the ski less pivoty than a freeride shape. Width adds some soft-snow support, not deep-powder float.

Choose the Arcade 88 Open for an advanced or expert resort skier who wants strong carving with some latitude for bumps, tracked snow and short off-piste detours. It rewards active pressure and a finished turn, so it is less suitable for relaxed cruising or a skier still developing edge control. A wider ski is better for regular powder, while a looser freeride model suits playful pivoting. The Arcade 88 is the precise, directional choice for a skier who wants one ski centered on resort performance.

Construction & features

What the WOMEN'S ARCADE 88 OPEN is built from, and what that means on snow.

01
Titanal construction
Titanal reinforces the ski against twisting and vibration, supporting strong edge hold on firm snow.
02
Line Control Technology
LCT steadies the center and keeps pressure connected as the skier moves through a turn.
03
Poplar wood core
The thick poplar core supplies the stable, energetic flex expected from this powerful resort ski.
04
VAS tip damping
VAS damping calms the shovel over hard or broken piste and reduces distracting chatter.
05
Rocker / Camber / Rocker
Camber provides edge contact and rebound while modest rocker eases entry without sacrificing carve focus.
06
Traditional sidecut
The traditional outline preserves direct edge contact and predictable carving rather than a loose, tapered feel.
07
Rectangular full sidewall
Full sidewalls transfer pressure directly into the edges for reliable groomer grip.
08
Open flat ski
The Open package is sold without bindings, so the buyer chooses a compatible binding and mount.
