The 2026 Rossignol Arcade 80 with Xpress 10 GW bindings is a lightweight, confidence-boosting ski setup designed for beginner to intermediate skiers looking to progress across groomed terrain. With a user-friendly flex and balanced shape, it’s built to make every turn feel easier and more enjoyable.

Why we like it:

It strikes the perfect balance between stability and forgiveness. It's ideal for learning and growing without ever feeling locked in or overpowered.

Who it's for:

Skiers ready to move past rentals and into a ski they can truly develop on. Best for progressing riders who stick mostly to groomers and want a smooth, supportive feel underfoot.

Highlights:

The Arcade 80 carves predictably and transitions from edge to edge easily between turns. The lightweight poplar core gives it a responsive yet forgiving feel, and the integrated Xpress 10 GW bindings keep weight low and setup hassle-free. Fully GripWalk compatible, the binding system is a great match for growing skiers or those who want convenience without compromising safety. Arcade 80 offers a light, agile ride for all-day ease on the hill.

Things to consider:

While perfect for groomers, the Arcade 80 isn’t built for deep snow or aggressive terrain. Those looking for wider skis with more off-piste capability may want to explore the 94 in the Arcade line or the Sender Soul and Sender Free lines.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to size. Shorter sizes will feel more maneuverable for newer skiers, while longer options add stability for faster progression.
