The 2026 Rossignol Nova 10 with Xpress 11 GW Bindings is a fluid frontside carver designed for smooth, powerful, and confident turns on trail. With race inspired construction, this nimble carver is designed to tackle a variety of turn shapes and speeds with an intuitive and accessible feel, while maintaining the high performance and smooth control you expect from a dedicated groomer ski.

Why we like it:

This is an energetic and fun carving ski that has a high performance feel that’s not overly demanding.

Who it's for:

Intermediate to expert skiers will find a lot to love about the Rossignol Nova 10.

Highlights:

The Nova 10 from Rossignol blends the performance of their race skis with intuitive accessibility utilizing a variety of high end materials and an innovative profile and shape. From the Race Room comes the Carbon Alloy Matrix, which is applied to the ski in a V-shape, enhancing the stiffness for maximum power and grip. A Poplar wood core reinforced with Titanal Beam, which provides stability and a smooth rebound for energy out of the turn, while a subtle taper in the tip and tail ensures skiers can make a variety of turn shapes with ease. Finally, a touch of rocker in the tip makes for easy and effortless turn initiation, giving confidence and control on every run.

Things to consider:

Ladies looking for something more versatile that will venture off trail now and again will want to look for a ski in the all-mountain category. Conversely, ex-racers or those looking for the absolute top end of power and precision will find there are more performance-oriented carvers available.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size; as this is a frontside ski, you may prefer to size down a bit.
