Rossignol Arcade W 78 XP10 Skis 2026

The 2026 Rossignol Arcade 78 with Xpress 10 GW bindings is a lightweight, frontside-focused ski package designed for developing skiers who want control, comfort, and confidence on groomed terrain. It blends forgiveness with stability to help skiers progress at their own pace.

Why we like it:

It’s one of the smoothest entry-level options in the lineup. It's easy to turn, stable underfoot, and ready to inspire confidence whether you're linking your first turns or building speed on blues.

Who it's for:

Beginner to intermediate skiers looking for a lightweight, no-fuss system ski for frontside progression. A perfect match for riders moving on from rentals and ready to take ownership of their skills.

Highlights:

At 78 mm underfoot, the Arcade W 78 provides a quick edge-to-edge feel while maintaining enough platform to stay stable on groomers. A 129–78–118 mm sidecut and 13-meter radius in the 170 cm size allow for smooth, predictable turns. The poplar wood core keeps the ski energetic without being demanding, and the integrated Xpress 10 GW bindings are tool-free adjustable and compatible with GripWalk soles. At just 3.2 kg per pair, it’s an easy choice for skiers who want less fatigue and more fun.

Things to consider:

This setup is optimized for on-piste skiing. It doesn’t have the width or stiffness for aggressive off-piste or all-mountain riding, but that’s not what it’s built for.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to size. Sizing can be adjusted based on height, ability, and turn preference. Go shorter for quicker learning, longer for more glide and confidence at speed.
