Rossignol Kids

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I size Rossignol kids' skis and boots for my child?

  Select skis and boots by your child's height, weight and ability and consult the manufacturer's length/weight charts — for example, Experience Pro Jr options include very short sizes (~31.5 in / 80 cm) while R‑Skin Race Jr goes up to 156 cm (about 500 g per ½ pair). Check recommended flex and dimensions for the intended skill level and make sure bindings match the system (Turnamic® for nordic, Team 4 GW/Tyrolia for junior alpine). Allow room for growth but avoid skis that are so long they compromise control.
• How does the Experience W Pro Jr compare to the Arcade 84/88 and Sender Free Pro for junior skiers?

  The Experience W Pro Jr is tuned for beginners with easy maneuverability and forgiving flex for on‑piste learning. The Arcade 84/88 targets intermediate kids who want quicker turns, agility and confidence across varied slopes, while the Sender Free Pro leans more playful and all‑mountain/freeride for exploring off‑piste terrain. Choose based on current skill, preferred terrain and how quickly your child is progressing.
• What is R‑Skin mohair and when should I choose R‑Skin skis for my child?

  R‑Skin uses mohair inserts in the classic Nordic base to provide a no‑prep kick and reliable glide in a wide range of conditions, making it ideal for kids who race or ski frequently without time for waxing. Rossignol rates R‑Skin for roughly 100–150 days of effective use before needing replacement, and the system keeps skis ultralight and easy to handle for young skiers.
• What construction features make Rossignol junior skis lightweight yet durable?

  Rossignol junior skis commonly use paulownia or poplar wood cores and honeycomb structures to cut weight by around 30% while retaining strength, paired with fiberglass for tuned flex and, on higher‑end models, Titanal for added stability. Activ Cap torsional geometry, P‑Tex bases and ABS sidewalls round out the build for torsional rigidity, edge hold and abrasion resistance appropriate to kids' use.
• Which Rossignol kid's models are best for different terrains and skill levels?

  For beginners stick with Experience W Pro Jr for easy on‑piste handling; intermediates will often prefer Arcade 84/88 for quick carving and the Sender Free Pro for playful all‑mountain use; advanced kids and junior racers should look at R‑Skin Race Jr for nordic racing and stable freeride options like the Sender Soul 102 or Rallybird Soul 102. Always match ski length, flex and binding compatibility to your child’s size, terrain goals and coaching progression.
