The Rossignol Experience 86 Basalt Skis offer a responsive yet approachable take on all-mountain performance. At 86mm underfoot, the Experience 86 Basalt falls on the wider end of the Experience lineup and offers the most versatile performance out of the series. With an agile yet precise profile designed to excel on piste, the Experience 86 feels most at home on groomed terrain but features the wider platform and lighter build required to venture off-trail. When combined with a basalt-powered construction, the Experience 86 becomes accessible to a wider range of skiers—endowing those in the intermediate and advanced categories with a responsive and playful ride that lacks the aggression of titanal-powered skis. An extended sidecut and a subtle dose of rocker round out the construction of the Experience 86 by giving it the grippy boost it needs to turn effortlessly on-piste, while a moderate turn radius completes the package with an unbeatable willingness to carve. Though a lover of manicured corduroy and quick turns on smooth terrain, the Rossignol Experience 86 Basalt Skis excel in crud, chop, and bumps all the same—endowing lighter, less ambitious skiers with a fun-loving approach to versatility.
