2026 Rossignol Nova 14 Skiswith XP 14 Konect GW Bindings

The Nova 14 is a high-performance frontside ski that blends smooth carving with a strong, stable feel for confident skiing on groomed terrain. It sits at the top of the Nova line with a more refined, powerful ride.

Why we like it:

It offers a smooth yet powerful feel that remains composed at speed while still being approachable.

Who it's for:

Advanced skiers who want a stable, high-performance carving ski that remains intuitive and controlled.

Highlights:

A reinforced construction improves stability and damping, helping the ski stay calm and composed on firmer snow. The sidecut shape encourages clean, confident turn engagement while supporting a range of turn shapes. Full sidewall construction enhances grip and precision, especially at higher speeds. The flex pattern balances power and smoothness, delivering a controlled, confident ride.

Things to consider:

It may feel less energetic than more aggressive race-inspired skis. It is primarily focused on frontside performance and lacks versatility for anything other than groomers.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The ski feels true to length with a stable, supportive flex. Skiers can choose their normal size, though those seeking quicker turns can size slightly shorter without a performance penalty.
