WOMEN'S ARCADE 94 OPEN

The women's Rossignol Arcade 94 Open is a directional all-mountain ski for resort skiers who want carving precision with enough width for chopped snow and side terrain. Its 94 mm waist sits between a frontside ski and a freeride tool: quick enough for groomers, broad enough to remain useful when snow turns soft or tracked. The Open package is sold flat, so bindings are selected separately.

A substantial poplar core, an underfoot Titanal Beam, LCT and VAS tip damping make a powerful, quiet platform. Full sidewalls transmit pressure directly to the edges, while the traditional sidecut and modest rocker keep the ski engaged through a turn. The 154–178 cm range uses a consistent 138/94/127 outline and radii from 10 to 16 metres. Its width adds stability and float compared with an 84 mm carver, but the directional tail and limited rocker still reward a committed, edge-driven style.

Choose the Arcade 94 Open for an advanced or expert skier who values carving and wants one ski for groomers, bumps and variable snow. It rewards speed and pressure, and can feel demanding for relaxed cruising or developing technique. The 94 mm platform reaches farther off piste than a narrow carver but still gives up deep-snow float to a wider freeride ski. Skiers seeking a loose, pivoty feel should look elsewhere; this is a powerful, traditional ski with useful all-mountain breadth.
