Why We Love This Deal
I’ve skied in icy conditions in New England, and in moments like those—when your skis are rattling, and you feel like you’re one mistake from a yard sale—you really wish you had the best ski gear possible. Consider that wish granted with REI’s help: The outdoor retailer is offering $150 off a set of Rossignol skis that are race-ready, and you don’t have to be a pro to enjoy them.
The Rossignol Sender Soul 102 Skis are on sale for $600, which is 20% off the original $750 price tag. These skis boast over 30 five-star ratings at REI and have four available sizes ranging from 156 centimeters to 180 centimeters (5.1 feet to 5.9 feet). More importantly, this is a pair of skis that's trusted by many ski resorts as rentals, so you know it'll be kind to you.

While Rossignol isn’t heavily advertised in the United States, it’s a big name in the skiing world. The French manufacturer even makes a ton of skis built for professionals (you may have seen some during the Winter Olympics in Italy), but novices can still enjoy them. In fact, one REI reviewer said they rented these Rossignols at Jay Peak in Vermont, one of the biggest ski mountains on the East Coast. That means these skis are good enough for beginners and can comb through the ice at Jay Peak, which I can personally say is one of the more beautiful—and difficult—places I’ve skied at.
As for their design, these skis enhance maneuverability with top-of-the-line tip technology and are built to not chatter on snow. That’ll help you stay in control and glide on all kinds of snowpack, especially groomed and powder snow, since that’s what these skis prefer.
In terms of price, Rossignol sells this exact model of skis on their website, yet they’re out of stock and currently $750. Around $600 is a standard price for quality skis, so this REI deal is a fair one and should net you gear that lasts for a while.

What Shoppers Are Saying
If you need help translating ski-speak, this REI shopper said their Rossignols excelled in powder and can even handle more wild conditions. “I rented these skis at Jay Peak in Vermont,” they began. “Unbelievably giving, you can turn on a dime, float on pow pow, and shred the gnar perfectly. I will be buying these skis! You can't go wrong.”
Another said they also loved how these skis were up to any challenge. “I had taken these out as a demo on a day with 15 inches of heavy snow, and they cut through the snow and stayed afloat as well,” they praised. “Since I’ve purchased them, our crazy spring weather has thrown every condition at me, and these skis handle it all.”
The Rossignol Sender Soul 102 Skis are $150 off at REI ahead of the end of ski season. Shop for them today before the deal disappears or all the snow melts.
