By: evo Employees | Last Updated: April 30th, 2024
Review Summary
Avg. Tester Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5)
Our testers found the 2025 Rossignol Sender Free 110 to be an exceptional all-mountain freeride ski, blending playfulness with a surprising amount of stability. It inherits the best qualities of the older Black Ops 118, transforming into a versatile resort ski that's perfect for skiers eager to tackle a variety of terrains. The ski's nimbleness was highlighted, especially in challenging conditions like steep bumps and dense tree runs, offering an intuitive experience. One tester noted that it was "extremely nimble and poppy," enhancing their ability to navigate and enjoy the mountain freely.
Despite its playful nature, the Sender Free 110 doesn't shy away from performance. Its stiffness is well-suited for carving down groomers, holding up well even at higher speeds, a characteristic confirmed by multiple testers who appreciated its balance between a soft tip/tail and a stable underfoot. This adaptability makes it an excellent choice for those who enjoy a mix of freestyle and freeride skiing, with one tester calling it a "real quiver killer."
Overall, the Rossignol Sender Free 110 is recommended for skiers looking for a ski that performs well across varied conditions, providing both the fun of a twin tip and the hard-charging stability of a more directional ski. It stands out as a top choice for those who value both agility and power in their big mountain adventures.

One of my favorite all-mountain twin tips for 2025.
"This ski takes the playfulness and stability of the older Black Ops 118 and puts it into an all-purpose resort ski for skiers looking to explore. It's extremely nimble and poppy and is intuitive in challenging conditions, like steep bumps or fast, dense trees. I had no issue dropping chutes and getting airs off side hits with these, but they are fairly stiff and held up to carving (as much as a 110 can) down groomers back to the base. I skied the 184 and at 6' 165lbs, I found it agile and fun, although I wouldn't mind trying the 191 for bigger terrain and more stability at speed."

BIG mountain
"Skis as advertised. Big and damp while still feeling fun and smear-able. I would have wanted to spend a whole day on them and take them in some terrain that they were designed for. But they were plenty fun and capable for just ripping around"

A real quiver killer!
"This ski rips! The Sender Free 110 is everything and more for what a mid-wide ski should be. Stable underfoot but softer in the tip/tail which is perfect for what this ski is designed for. Even with the 110mm waist width this ski performed well on groomers and held an edge. With the rocker of the Black Ops 118 and build of the Sender TI's these really impressed me with how versatile and playful they can be. Overall I'd high recommend!"

daily driver/pow ski for riders seeking soft snow and swicth skiing performance.
"I got to test the 191cm sender free 110 at mission ridge, at 5'10" for being a pretty rocker ski it felt like i could ski the 191 but i would be curious to ski the 184cm. The sender free 110 felt very loose and likes to be skied with a centered stance. For riders who want a ski that has a good amount of weight to it, that is very damp and stable at speed. With a twin tip shape and centered mount point making the ski very freestyle friendly the sender free 110 is a very exciting option."

Loose, Stable, Ready to Rip
"Ahh so pumped to finally get on this ski. Been looking at it for over a year waiting for the opportunity, and got to ski some fun spring slush conditions to put it through its paces. Don't let the airtip fool you, this ski is burly and could plow through just about any type of snow condition. Putting this ski between the traditional Sender lineup (very directional & stiff) and the Black Ops lineup (centered and softer) feels like it strikes a great balance. The mount point on this ski is definitely noticeably closer to true center than most other skis tested at the demo. It meant that it didn't like being overly angulated or pushed super hard from a forward position, meaning it would work better for somebody with a more centered body position. The 191 cm length was the perfect size for me (6' 185 lbs). This ski is perfect for a PNW Freerider looking for an everyday ski that feels a little bit fast and loose."
Pros
Versatility: The Rossignol Sender Free 110 is highlighted for its ability to handle a variety of terrains with ease. Its stability and playfulness make it ideal for everything from steep bumps to groomed runs, offering a nimble yet stable ride.
Playfulness and Pop: Testers praised the ski for its playful nature, noting its poppy feel which makes it fun for getting airs off side hits and navigating dense tree runs. This quality adds an element of excitement to a day on the slopes.
Balanced Flex: The balance between a softer tip and tail with a stable underfoot section provides a mix of maneuverability and control, making the Sender Free 110 both fun and reliable in varying snow conditions.
Cons
Stiffness: While the ski's stiffness is appreciated when charging groomers or dropping cliffs, some testers noted that it could be a bit too stiff for those who prefer a more flexible ski, potentially limiting its appeal to those looking for ultra-playful skis.
Position Sensitivity: The ski's more centered mount point and design favor a centered stance, which might require adjustment for skiers used to a more forward-leaning stance, potentially limiting its appeal for traditional skiers.
Who Is It For?
The Rossignol Sender Free 110 is best suited for expert skiers who thrive on a mix of all mountain, freeride, and freestyle skiing. This ski is perfect for those who appreciate a balance between playfulness and stability, capable of handling varied terrains from groomers to powder and technical tree lines.
The Sender Free 110 stands out for its ability to perform well in diverse conditions, making it an excellent choice for skiers looking for a versatile, high-performance ski. With its poppy nature and ability to hold an edge on groomers, it caters to those who enjoy an active, adventurous skiing style. However, due to its stiffness and performance characteristics, it may not be the best fit for novice skiers or those who prefer a more traditional, directional ski. The ski’s centered stance requirement also suggests it’s better suited for skiers comfortable with a balanced, modern skiing technique rather than a forward, aggressive carve.
