PTO Verdict
“Real carbon and titanal, and real weight to match - a big-mountain freeride ski built to float and hold a fast line, not to carve hardpack.”
Best for: Advanced-to-expert skiers who spend real time off-piste - bowls, steep lines, side-country and chopped snow - and want one ski that floats in soft snow and still holds a fast line. It rewards a strong pilot who drives a big ski and carries speed, because the metal, the full sidewall and the long radius all ask for input and hand back stability. It is also the pick for a skier who specifically wants a metal ski for its damping and edge power, and who skis powder and variable snow far more than hardpack.
Not for: Beginners and early intermediates: Rossignol's level bar sits at the Expert end, and a 110 mm, long-radius metal ski of real weight is more ski than they can drive, and it punishes a passive, backseat stance. Pure on-piste carvers: 110 mm underfoot with twin rocker is slow and washy edge-to-edge on firm snow, and a narrower cambered frontside ski tends to out-carve it on firm snow - this skis a groomer to reach the good snow, it does not live there. Anyone wanting a light or touring setup: it is a heavy alpine freeride ski, and 'keeps it light' is Rossignol's phrase for the poplar core, not the finished ski, so we claim no touring capability for it. Smaller or lighter skiers who need a short ski: we stock only the 176 and 184, both big skis, and the shorter lengths are not ones we carry. And anyone expecting a ready-to-ski price or shopping on a tight budget should know it is sold flat at $899.95 - a binding and a mount are extra - and that the metal-free Sender 100 at $699.95 is the lighter, narrower, cheaper sibling if the width and the weight are not needed.

Description
The Rossignol Sender 110 Open is a men's freeride ski, 110 mm underfoot, built for soft snow and big-mountain terrain rather than groomers. What sets it apart from the metal-free Sender 100 one rung down is real carbon and metal. The structured reinforcement field reads Carbon Alloy Matrix and Titanal Beam, where the Sender 100's field is empty - so the carbon and the titanal here are specced, not marketing copy. A titanal beam over a rectangular full sidewall is what lets a wide ski damp chatter and hold a line at speed.
Around the metal sit a poplar wood core, twin rocker at tip and tail, a lightweight Air Tip and a sintered HD base. The twin rocker lifts both contact points off the snow, so the ski floats, pivots and smears in soft snow and shrugs off variable conditions; the trade is grip on firm groomers, where a narrower cambered ski keeps its edge. The turn shape is long - 19 m at 176 cm and 20 m at 184 cm - a big-mountain radius that wants speed and open terrain, not quick short turns.
This is an advanced-to-expert ski, and it is not a light one: roughly 2.05 to 2.2 kg on each foot at the two lengths we stock. That mass is the point, not a flaw - it is stability, and the weight to stay composed and push through chop and crud. It suits a strong skier who drives the ski and spends real time off-piste, and it is the wrong ski for a beginner, a groomer-only carver, or anyone after a light touring setup.
One thing to settle before the price: the Sender 110 Open is sold flat at $899.95, with no binding on it. The binding and its mount cost extra. Rossignol's recommended pairing is the Look Pivot 15 GW B115, which we stock, and a 115 mm brake matches the 110 mm waist. We mount it and size the brake with you in the shop.

The Sender 110 Open suits an advanced to expert skier who spends most of the day off-piste and wants one ski for deep days, big-mountain lines and side-country laps. At 110 mm underfoot it is a soft-snow ski first: it floats and slashes readily, and the Titanal Beam keeps it composed when the snow firms up on the way out.
It is not the right ski for a skier who mostly rides groomers — a narrower all-mountain ski will carve better on hardpack. Skiers who want the same shape with a binding already mounted should look at the system versions instead.
We stock the Sender 110 Open in 176 cm and 184 cm. Because it is rockered at both tip and tail, its effective edge — the part of the edge actually touching firm snow — is shorter than the stated length. Rossignol builds this ski in four lengths: 168, 176, 184 and 191 cm.
Does the Rossignol Sender 110 Open come with bindings?
No. "Open" means the ski is sold flat, without a binding. Rossignol's recommended pairing is the Pivot 15 GW with a 115 mm brake, which fits the 110 mm waist.
Is the Sender 110 Open a powder ski or an all-mountain ski?
It is a freeride ski. The 110 mm waist and twin rocker are built for soft snow and big-mountain terrain, but the Titanal Beam and VAS damping let it hold an edge on the firm snow you cross getting there.
What's the difference between the Sender 110 Open and the old Sender Free 110?
The Sender 110 Open (item RAPMB01) is the 26/27 model. "Sender Free 110" was the previous name for this ski.
Does the Sender 110 Open have metal in it?
Yes — a Titanal Beam underfoot, paired with a Carbon Alloy Matrix. It is not a full two-sheet metal ski, which is why it stays light enough to slash and pivot in powder.

Rossignol Sender 110 OPEN
By PTO Team, Based on Rossignol's official specs, the 26/27 catalog and our own order book · Spec analysis
The take
“Real carbon and titanal, and real weight to match - a big-mountain freeride ski built to float and hold a fast line, not to carve hardpack.”
The Rossignol Sender 110 Open earns its price on one honest point: the metal is real. Rossignol's structured reinforcement field lists a Carbon Alloy Matrix and a Titanal Beam, and its technology list names both. The proof is the Sender 100 sitting one rung down the same line, sharing the twin rocker, the full sidewall and the Air Tip, whose reinforcement field is blank. The field prints metal when metal is present and stays empty when it is not, so on the 110 the carbon and titanal are findings rather than adjectives. A titanal beam and a full sidewall add torsional stiffness and damp chatter; Rossignol's words for the result are a predictable, powerful feel, and for once those words sit on construction that is genuinely in the ski.
Read the weight the same way. At roughly 2.05 kg per ski at 176 cm and 2.2 kg at 184, this is a substantial ski, and the mass is the feature: the weight steadies it at speed and helps it push through chop that shoves a lighter ski around. Rossignol's phrase 'keeps it light' describes the poplar core, not the finished ski, and it should not be read as a light ski, because it is not one. The twin rocker and Air Tip still keep it playful for its class - loose enough to slash, smear and ride switch. The turn shape agrees: the radius runs 16 to 22 m across the run, and 19 to 20 m at our two lengths - a long, big-mountain arc that wants terrain and speed, not quick slalom turns.
The comparison that routes the sale sits inside the line. The Sender 100 Open is $200 less, at $699.95, and the extra money buys the titanal beam, the carbon and 10 mm of waist. The 100 is metal-free, lighter and narrower, so it is the quicker, more playful ski for mixed inbounds terrain or a tighter budget; the 110 is the answer for deep snow, speed and big lines. Both are sold flat. On hard groomers a dedicated frontside carver out-holds and out-carves either of them, which is a different job and not a fault here.
It is new for 26/27 and pre-season, so every judgment here is read off construction and geometry, not a test, and the single brand-hosted rating on Rossignol's page is not one we lean on. It comes in four lengths, 168 to 191, and we stock the 176 and 184; the radius grows a meter or two with each size, so the length you pick is also the turn you get. And the price is ski-only at $899.95 - budget a binding and a mount on top.
Bindings we'd pair with it
Mount point: Flat ski - the binding is a separate purchase and needs mounting. Our pick: Look Pivot 15 GW B115.
- Look Pivot 15 GW B115The pairing Rossignol names
Rossignol prints this binding against the Sender 110 on its own catalog page, so it is the factory pairing rather than a shop pick. A 115 mm brake is the correct width for the 110 mm waist. We set the brake to the length you take home.
The Sender 110 Open ships flat, so a binding, its mounting and setup are a separate job on top of the ski price. Your release setting is a technician's calculation from your height, weight, age, boot sole length and skier type, and it is tested on a machine - it is not a number to read off a web page. Bring the boots you will actually ski in.
Common Questions
- Does the Rossignol Sender 110 Open come with bindings?
- No - it is sold flat, which is what OPEN means. The $899.95 is the price of the skis alone; a binding and a mount are extra on top. Rossignol pairs it with a Look Pivot 15 GW B115, and we mount and size whichever binding you pick in the shop.
- Rossignol Sender 110 or Sender 100 - what does the extra $200 buy?
- Metal and width. The Sender 110 adds a Carbon Alloy Matrix, a Titanal Beam and 10 mm of waist over the Sender 100, whose reinforcement field is empty. At $899.95 against $699.95 the 110 has the width and metal to float, damp and hold a fast line; the metal-free 100 is lighter, quicker and more playful for mixed terrain or a tighter budget. Both are sold flat.
- Is the Sender 110 Open a good carving ski?
- Not on hard snow. At 110 mm underfoot with twin rocker at both ends it is slow edge-to-edge on hardpack, and a narrower cambered ski out-carves it there. Its turn shape is a long 19 to 20 m at our lengths, built to run fast and hold an open arc, not to make short slalom turns. It skis a groomer to reach the good snow; it does not live there.
- How much does the Rossignol Sender 110 Open weigh?
- Per ski: 2.05 kg at 176 cm and 2.2 kg at 184 cm - per ski, not per pair. One warning about Rossignol's own spec table: it is headed kg/pair, but the numbers under it are per ski. The catalog confirms it, printing 4.4 kg per pair at 184, which is 2.2 doubled. On this ski the weight is a feature - it is what keeps it steady at speed.
- What size Rossignol Sender 110 Open should I get?
- We stock the 176 and 184 out of a four-length run of 168 to 191 cm. The radius stretches with length - 19 m at the 176, 20 m at the 184 - so a longer ski is also a longer, more stable turn. It is an expert big-mountain ski that wants to be driven, so most skiers size at their height or up, and heavier, faster skiers lean to the 184. Bring your boots: it is sold flat, so length, brake width and mount get set in one conversation.
- Is the Sender 110 the most powder-focused ski Rossignol makes?
- No - the wider Sender 118 sits above it for pure deep-snow float, and we do not stock it. The Sender 110 is the middle of Rossignol's freeride line: at 110 mm with twin rocker and an Air Tip it floats well and still skis the whole mountain, where the 118 is the more specialized powder tool. For most one-ski freeride buyers the 110 is the more useful width.
