Rossignol Experience W 86 Basalt + NX 12 Ski 2023

All resort. All the time. The women's Experience 86 Basalt ski blends a lightweight build with a smooth ride for carving across the entire mountain. The flex is tuned for intermediate and advanced skiers who enjoy aggressive performance. A paulownia wood core reduces overall weight, while basalt layers absorb vibration for a smooth, quiet feel. An 86mm waist adds versatility and stability across changing snow conditions. The confidence-boosting control of our Drive Tip design works with the sidecut and full sidewall construction for smooth turn initiation and a powerful edge through the entire turn.

Profile

All Trail Profile – The new All Trail profile is designed to ensure smooth and progressive absorption of uneven areas of terrain in all types of snow.The perfectly tailored profile and sidecut guarantee ideal behaviour of the tip in any conditions.

Sidecut

All Trail Sidecut – The new All Trail sidecut is designed to engage the tip from the very start of the turn and strengthen the action of the tail

Core

Paulownia Wood Core – A light and fast-growing hardwood from SE Asia, Paulownia is the preferred starting point for high performance lightweight skis.

Laminates

Basalt – Yes, we mean the black-ish mineral that forms natural columns on many of our volcanoes. The basalt is heated until molten, then extruded into thin strands which can be woven into a sort of fabric. Basalt fiber adds lightweight strength and dampening when used in ski and snowboard constructions.

Drive Tip Solution – Longitudinal glass fibers combined with visco-elastic materials absorb vibration and provide directional stability

Sidewalls

Rectangular Sidewalls – Rectangular Sidewall constructions feature a horizontal layering of core materials (wood, fiberglass, metal, etc.) combined with full-length vertical sidewalls to deliver optimized edge grip, precision, balance, and power.
