Review: 2024 Rossignol Sender 94 Ti

• Weight (per ski in grams): 1,800 (178)

The biggest talking point behind Rossignol’s Sender 94 Ti was how good it was all over the mountain. Our testers were thinking spring: long arcs on perfect cord in the morning, hop-turning steep chutes at noon, and seeking high-mountain chalk in the afternoon while the bottom of the hill cooks. Sure, the blessing and curse of the Unisex All-Mountain category is that these skis try to be all things to all people, but the Sender 94 Ti never lacked in guts. It just delivered glory.

The beauty of this ski is all in the shape and the flex pattern. Rossi’s classic Air Tip (the lightweight honeycomb construction many will be familiar with from the Soul 7 days) lightens the swing weight and softens the tip, providing easy turn initiation. The fore of the ski, however, is stiffened with Titanal atop a paulownia wood core, which provides a sinewy backbone to punch it, and the squared-off tail with minimal taper is the perfect platform to finish clean arcs without washing out.

The main difference between the Sender 94 Ti and your other Austrian classics, like the Blizzard Bonafide, is just how light the Rossignol remains while still delivering plenty of high-end stability. This means that when you’re hacking super-short turns on the steeps, you won’t be exhausted by the time you hit the apron. Tester Jon Sexauer, who calls Copper Mountain, Colorado, his winter playground, found that “on smooth terrain, the Sender 94 Ti is predictable and easy to control. In bumps, the ski is light and easy to pivot to stay in the troughs, and sturdy enough to plow through variable snow.”

A light tip swings both ways, though, and some skiers found that if they weren’t driving the shovels every second in tight terrain, they could get knocked around. Luke Larsen, ski-shop owner and Snowbird, Utah, regular, reported, “At times in the bumps and crud, the skinny tips wanted to pinball around. I had to keep an eye on them and keep them going in the same direction.” But other testers were thrilled by the Sender 94 Ti’s stability maching down groomers. “This ski is an all-around workhorse,” said tester RJ Peshek, a shop tech in Aspen, Colorado. “Performs great on groomers, nimble and fast in the trees and bumps, super stable at high speeds.”

If you like an aggressive tail shape, a feathery swing weight, and a spine that will hold an edge in all but the absolute firmest conditions, the Rossignol Sender 94 Ti is worth your attention. It may not be the category leader in float, but for a mixed-conditions bump and groomer ski that we wouldn’t hesitate to take into the steeps, this ski is a rocket ship in search of a pilot.
